Der Freischütz Overture

R.STRAUSS
Tod und Verklärung

TCHAIKOVSKY
Symphony No.2 

Conducted by
Keith Crellin OAM

And to our last but certainly not the least concert in our Rebirth 2022 Series. We begin with Weber’s dark overture to the opera Der Freischütz - The Freeshooter. Richard Strauss wrote Tod und Verklärung - Death & Transfiguration - as the music for his own passing – a rebirth into the next life perhaps. It is an intensely emotional work in which the whole orchestra is the soloist & star of the show. To finish the year, one of Tchaikovsky’s earlier symphonies dubbed ‘The Little Russian’ as it is based on Ukrainian Folk Music. It is as spectacular and energising as he ever wrote - a great way to finish off the year!
