SYMPHONIC LUNCH V: BRILLIANT OBOE. Haydn and Brahms • "Sümfoonilised lõunad" kontserdisari

Richard Strauss
Suite for Winds in B-flat major, Op. 4

Johannes Brahms
Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73

ERSO, conductor FRANÇOIS LELEUX

In December, French oboist François Leleux, who has long been considered one of the best oboe players of our time, will perform with the orchestra. He is globally famous as a soloist and a conductor, and this time, he will fill both roles for ERSO. The concert includes the suite for 13 wind instruments in B-flat major by Richard Strauss, where Leleux will team up with the wind section of ERSO. The composer wrote it in his youth and the piece marks a crucial milestone in his career. The programme also includes Symphony No. 2 by Johannes Brahms. By the time Brahms wrote this composition, the doubts and toils of creating his first symphony were behind him, so the pastoral mood of the second symphony attests to the mental balance of the author.
