2. Sinfoniekonzert

RICHARD WAGNER (1813-1883): Prelude to "Parsifal"
GRAŻYNA BACEWICZ (1909-1969): Concerto for viola and orchestra
ANTON BRUCKNER (1824-1896): Symphony No. 7 in E major

Bruckner's reverence for the "master of all masters" is also evident in the slow second movement of his Symphony No. 7. It was composed under the impression of the news of Wagner's death with the "funeral music" at the end of this movement. To this day, people want to hear echoes of various operas by Wagner in this symphony, in particular "Parsifal".
The rarely heard viola concerto by composer Grażyna Bacewicz is entirely indebted to the Polish avant-garde of 1968, when it was written, in which texture, timbre and acoustics determine the form and structure of the work.
