Mel Bonis "Salome" from "Trois femmes de légendes Florent Schmitt "La Tragédie de Salomé Richard Strauss "Dance of the seven veils" from "Salome Igor Stravinsky "Le sacre du printemps" Conductor: Andreas Hotz With: Ladies Choir of the Theater Osnabrück The premiere of the opera Salome by Richard Strauss in Dresden in 1905 turned into a real scandal. For years afterwards the piece about the desires of the princess of the same name was considered unperformable. Among other things, audiences and critics took offense at the dance of the seven veils, which Salome performs scantily clad for her stepfather. In the meantime, Salome has become one of the modern classics and it is impossible to imagine the repertoire without it. The figure of Salome forms the starting point for this concert. Strauss was not the only one to deal with the Salome theme. The composer Mel Bonis asserted herself in Parisian musical life around 1900 against much patriarchal opposition and became one of the first full-time female composers.

Mel Bonis: Trois femmes de légende Alma Mahler: Songs Louise Farrenc: Symphony No. 1 in C minor op. 32 "Trois femmes de légende" or in English"Three legendary female figures" is the motto of this concert. This is not only the title of the first pieces by the late romantic French composer Mel Bonis. Rarely has a motto also suited Alma Mahler-Werfel and Louise Farrenc, the creators of the rest of the program, so well. Mel Bonis studied composition with Claude Debussy, but at the insistence of her family had to abandon her studies and marry. Conscious of duty, she fulfilled her role as the administrator of an upper middle-class household. She nevertheless managed to compose on the side, especially piano and chamber music, and the colorful piano pieces she orchestrated herself on "legendary" female characters show an artist whose work can absolutely compete with her better-known colleagues. Alma Mahler-Werfel is considered the last great salon lioness of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The names of her husbands, lovers, companions, friends and acquaintances almost read like a "Who's Who" of the intellectual greats of the time. She composed during a short phase of her life. Her first ...
