Christmas Concert
Orchestra della Toscana
Duego Ceretta conductor
***
Program:
/ Träume, for violin and orchestra
/ Siegfried Idyll
/ Symphony No.7, Op.92
To celebrate the Christmas holidays, a piece of music that was first heard on Christmas Day has been chosen. It is Siegfried Idyll, a gift from Richard Wagner to his wife Cosima Liszt on December 25, 1870, the day of her thirty-third birthday. It was a surprise for her, as she was awakened that morning by the sound of fifteen musicians arranged on the staircase of their villa in Triebschen, near Lucerne. With this private gift, Wagner sealed a happy period of his family life that had begun a year and a half earlier with the birth of their third child, Siegfried. Another token of love is Träume (“Dreams”), which our principal conductor Diego Ceretta places at the opening of the concert. It bears witness to the passion between Wagner and Mathilde Wesendonck, which blossomed in Zurich around 1857 while the composer and his first wife Minna were guests at the Wesendonck couple’s villa. This relationship was transfigured into the musical drama Tristan und Isolde, and Träume prepares and echoes the poignant atmosphere of the opera, as its genesis is intertwined with that of the work. The last of a collection of five songs for female voice and piano with lyrics by Mathilde herself, Träume is presented here in the version for violin and small orchestra, reworked by Wagner much later. In the second part of the program, we hear Ludwig van Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, the “apotheosis of dance,” as Wagner called it, “dance in its highest essence, the action of the body translated into, so to speak, ideal sound.”
