The “well crafted” work (Irish Times), a LACO co-commission with RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra, Lahti Symphony Orchestra and Gävle Symphony Orchestra, was inspired by the legacy of Clara Schumann and celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of this pivotal figure in Romantic music. Schnelzer, “one of Sweden’s foremost composers” (Classical Music Magazine, UK), is noted for his intensely personal, energetic and lyrical music. The program also features renowned German violinist Christian Tetzlaff on Beethoven’s Violin Concerto and concludes with Dvořák’s radiant Symphony No. 6.
