THOMAS HENGELBROCK

Thomas Hengelbrock presents a concert program that includes the Violin Concerto in E Major, Op. 77, by Johannes Brahms, and the Symphony No. 2 in C Major, Op. 61, by Robert Schumann. The event explores the dialogue between two titans of German romanticism, Schumann and Brahms, both of whom faced the challenge of composing under the shadow of Beethoven. Thomas Hengelbrock, founder of the Ensemble Balthasar Neumann, returns to the Valencia Opera House Orchestra (OCV) after his successful Beethoven concert at the Granada Festival. The concert highlights Schumann's Adagio, a synthesis of melancholy, reflection, and sadness, and Brahms' violin concerto, which features the virtuoso violinist Christian Tetzlaff.
