Interview
Albrecht Mayer on the oboe concerto by Richard Strauss Christian Thielemann and Albrecht Mayer with works by Strauss and Bruckner
Christian Thielemann’s international fame rests not least on his highly acclaimed interpretations of Bruckner. In this concert, he conducts the composer’s most popular work, the Fourth Symphony. As the epithet Romantic implies, Bruckner here creates a vision of a better past. Richard Strauss’s Oboe Concerto which opens the concert has a similarly nostalgic flavour. The soloist is Albrecht Mayer.
