On Thursday 29 April, the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Markus Poschner will broadcast a concert of music by Wantenaar, Brahms and R. Strauss, recorded at the concert hall. The orchestra opens with a work by Dutch composer Mathilde Wantenaar. In her Prélude à une nuit américaine, she combines jazzy American and sultry impressionist French. But above all, in her own words, it is ‘an unabashedly grand romantic gesture’. Top soloists Kian Soltani and Emmanuel Tjeknavorian bring out the heartwarming beauty of his music in Brahms' Double Concerto. Strauss' symphonic poem on the transition from life to death is in very good hands with Markus Poschner.
