Richard Dünser | "Wunderhorn" Overture
Ludwig van Beethoven | Triple Concerto in C major op. 56
Antonín Dvorák | Symphony No. 8 in G major op. 88 "English"

Ludwig van Beethoven dreamed of a career in England until shortly before his death. The fact that he ultimately stayed in Vienna is probably mainly due to his patron Archduke Rudolph. Whether Beethoven's later pupil was actually originally intended for the piano part of the Triple Concerto, as has long been claimed, is questionable today. What is certain, however, is that this unusually scored concerto for piano trio and orchestra contains particularly delicate cello passages. For Antonín Dvořák, Beethoven's dream destination England became a second home, so to speak. He traveled to the island a total of nine times and became an audience favorite and honorary doctor here. Finally, he had his thoroughly "Bohemian" 8th Symphony first printed in England.
