Interview
François-Xavier Roth in conversation with Andreas Wittmann
François-Xavier Roth and Albrecht Mayer
Igor Stravinsky was a composer of the avant-garde, but he also took up the legacy of music history. François-Xavier Roth presents both sides: first, the groundbreaking ballet Petrushka, which combines a fairground atmosphere with a visionary musical idiom. In his charming Divertimento, on the other hand, Stravinsky pays his respects to Tchaikovsky’s ballets. No less graceful is Bach’s Oboe Concerto in A major, with the orchestra’s principal oboe, Albrecht Mayer.
