‘Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, Van Zweden & Soltani’

Those who have already experienced Kian Soltani’s talent live will no doubt want to hear his Variations on a Rococo Theme by Tchaikovsky. Power and poignancy: a cue for conductor emeritus Jaap van Zweden. After reading Wagner’s obituary, Anton Bruckner put the first notes of his Symphony No. 7 on paper. The musical homage to the ‘Meister aller Meister’ was a great success from its premiere. The work’s epic proportion, grandiose orchestration, and haunting melodies make his Symphony No. 7 one of Bruckner’s most popular works. Let the overwhelming emotions of the Adagio and the blistering power of the Finale in this highlight of the Romantic repertoire catch you entirely by surprise.
