About the programme
"It seems that a ninth symphony is a kind of a limit. Who wants to go over the ninth one, he must die. It's like the tenth symphony could say something that people could not even know or are not yet ripe for it. Who wrote a ninth, they were too close to the afterlife. Perhaps the mysteries of this world would have got solved if just one of them, who know these secrets, had written the tenth one."With these words –from a memorial speech in October 1912, tribute to Gustav Mahler- Arnold Schoenberg meant not only the composers (Mahler, Bruckner, and even Beethoven himself) whose tenth symphonies remained unfinished, but also the both "sweet" and "oppressive" burden that weighted on every composer's shoulder who started writing a symphony after the birth of Beethoven's main work after (1824). The Ninth Symphony is an inevitable piece of Western music history, an epochal work that has not lost its actuality for almost two centuries. The symphony is going to be “led” by the Flute Concerto (1908) by Carl Reinecke, one of the prominent representatives of the 19th-century German musical tradition budded from Beethoven’s art.
