ZWISCHEN WALZERTAKT UND TANGOSCHRITT (BETWEEN WALTZ BEAT AND TANGO STEP)

“With me, with me no night is too long!” sings Baron Ochs auf Lerchenau joyfully in Richard Strauss’s “Rosenkavalier” waltz, evoking a mood that the composer had already captured in his early violin sonata. Volkhard Steude enchants on his violin for a lively concert evening that promises not to be too long. You’ll find yourself dancing along as Fritz Kreisler adds a splash of Viennese flair to a tango by Isaac Albeniz or ignites your spirit with “Gitana,” a captivating gypsy dance. This sets the stage for the exhilarating “Tzigane” by Ravel, composed for the virtuoso fingers of Hungarian violinist Jelly d’Arányi.
