Mel Boni’s “Salome” from “Trois femmes de légendes” and others
OsnabrückHalle Schlosswall 1-9, Osnabrück, DeutschlandMel 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.

Fanny Hensel – “Hiob” and works by her brother
Alexandra Palace Theatre Alexandra Palace Way, London, Großbritannien (Vereinigtes Königreich)Crouch End Festival Chorus London Mozart Players David Temple: conductor Julia Doyle: soprano Rebecca Afonwy-Jones: mezzo-soprano Ronald Samm: tenor Ashley Riches: baritone Felix Mendelssohn From Heaven on High Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel Lure Felix Mendelssohn Psalm 42 Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel Job Cantata Felix Mendelssohn The first Walpurgis Night The music of Felix Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny Hensel holds a wealth of unforgettable experiences - from the drama of raging battles in the mountains to exquisite choral settings. In this concert, the renowned Crouch End Festival Chorus presents a selection of works by both siblings, with Fanny given her due alongside her better-known brother. Felix's works include Die erste Walpurgisnacht, a dramatic cantata set on a dark mountain where Druids and Christians are in conflict. Stylistically, the music goes back to Haydn and forward to Wagner and Mahler. Vom Himmel hoch is a beautiful work that is entirely in the style of Felix's great model, J.S. Bach. Fanny's works include Lockung, an exquisite a cappella vocal song, and the more substantial Hiob Cantata for chorus, soloists, and orchestra. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
