A Walk in Vienna

Programme

Franz Schubert, Johannes Brahms, Fritz Kreisler, Gustav Mahler, Arnold Schoenberg, Anton Webern

Daniils Bulajevs and Agnese Egliņa had their first encounter in music in 2021, when they played together at the Grand Music Award ceremony. The violinist was nominated in the category “Young Artist of the Year,” while the pianist received the award in the category “For Outstanding Performance Throughout the Year.” The dynamic and passionate musicians understood each other so naturally and inspired each other so deeply that they continue to perform together to this day. In this concert programme, both talents have combined works imbued with classical elegance and virtuoso energy, whose authors’ lives were closely linked to the enchanting atmosphere of Vienna throughout different periods. Alongside Franz Schubert’s bright lyricism and Violin Sonata No. 1, imbued with Mozartian elegance, is the same great Romantic songwriter’s expressive sparkle embodied in Rondo Brillant, and alongside Fritz Kreisler’s charming Viennese dances – Johannes Brahms’ dazzling scherzo from the legendary F. A. E. Sonata. Meanwhile, the timeless Adagietto from Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, enveloped in pensive melancholy, resonates beautifully with the masterpieces of two representatives of the so-called New Viennese School – Anton Webern’s refined and meticulously polished Four Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 7, and Arnold Schoenberg’s sparklingly rhapsodic Phantasy.
