Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde

Richard Strauss

Oboe Concerto in D major

— Intermission 20 min —

Johannes Brahms

Symphony No. 4, in E minor, op. 98

It is hard to imagine music that so perfectly represents love and desire, uncertainties and romantic raptures, as the Prelude to Tristan und Isolde. Nor is it easy to find such poignant notes for the tragic death of one of the lovers as the one we hear in Liebestod. A sumptuous and intense symphonic dive which is then enhanced by the virtuoso musical discourses of the Oboe Concerto by R. Strauss and Brahms’ Symphony No. 4.
