Herbstkonzert Orchester Liechtenstein-Werdenberg

Into the fall with romantic sounds
The program for the Liechtenstein-Werdenberg Orchestra's autumn concert is set in the Romantic era. With the famous Violin Concerto in E minor and the Symphony No. 1 in C minor, the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy forms the focus of the program. He is one of the most important musicians of the Romantic period and set standards as a conductor that still characterize conducting today.

Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy wrote the Violin Concerto in E minor for his friend Ferdinand David. It was premiered by Ferdinand David himself in Leipzig in 1845. The violin concerto was a success right from the start and is now one of Mendelssohn's most popular works. In the 19th century, by the end of which it was already considered one of the greatest violin concertos in literature, it was part of the repertoire of leading violinists.
Violinist Judith Tiefenthaler grew up in Feldkirch and has been teaching at the Liechtenstein School of Music since 2021. She interprets the violin concerto with verve and energy, shines in the virtuoso passages of the cadenza and plays the melancholy melodies of the 2nd movement with a warm timbre.

The Symphony No. 1 in C minor was composed in 1824 by the 15-year-old composer in the tradition of the twelve string symphonies of his youth. However, due to the first use of the full orchestra with winds, it is considered his first "fully-fledged" symphony.
