Emma Johnson & Friends - Tales from Vienna
Experience the magic of Vienna in its heyday with classic pieces of the era played by Emma Johnson and Friends, highlighted by the stories behind the music and photos and paintings of the time.
Vienna in the 19th century was an extraordinary city, a hotbed of musical creativity that nurtured Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Lehar and Strauss. Using contemporary art as illustration, Emma introduces a programme of wonderful well-known music encapsulating the apparently harmless mania for wine, women and song but which contrasts with the seeds of social discontent that would trigger the First World War.
PROGRAMME
Beethoven Adagio and Allegro con brio from the Septet Op.20
Mozart Larghetto from K581
Schubert Scherzo from the Octet D803
Brahms Hungarian Dances No.1 and 3 (1879)
Johann Strauss I Radetzky March
Johann Strauss II Waltzes and Polka
Mozart Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
Franz Lehar Merry Widow Waltz
Johann Strauss II Waltzes and Polka
Such an enjoyment of music making with technically superb, charismatic playing......Emma Johnson's Strauss arrangements are as frothy as a glass of bubbly! Gramophone Magazine
