Concert without imtermission

The music of Lili Boulanger has a healing effect, even though (or because?) she herself struggled with chronic illness throughout her life. The highly talented French composer created her great orchestral work D'un soir triste in 1918, shortly before her early death at the age of only 24. Her music opens up perspectives beyond the familiar – far removed from the familiar sound worlds of her often-played male contemporaries. It is music that speaks from a different experience, and that is precisely where its power lies. With Steven Isserlis, the Ensemble Resonanz also performs Haydn's lyrical and delicate Cello Concerto No. 2 in D major and Bartók's energetic Divertimento for string orchestra, inspired by Hungarian folk music.
