Both Arnold Schönberg's "Verklärte Nacht" and Richard Strauss' "Alpensinfonie" begin with the musical depiction of night and darkness. While Schönberg's wordless setting of a poem by Richard Dehmel focuses on the transitions of emotions from a night of tragedy to a night of transfiguration, Strauss' work is primarily a musical description of what the experience of nature triggers in us. His philosophical views, influenced by Nietzsche, resonate in the background. The young Finn KLAUS MÄKELÄ at the conductor's podium is an acclaimed and exceptional talent among up-and-coming conductors and has already proven several times that he can amaze audiences and critics alike.
