Love, Bohemian Spirit, Music!
Ever since humanity began to sing, a large part of vocal music has been about love.
In fact, if we look more closely, whenever the music is not sacred, love is almost always present in songs in one way or another—even if sometimes only metaphorically. But how is love expressed in instrumental music? If not through words, then how? And why do we so readily agree that certain melodies and sounds are unmistakably connected to love?
These questions are explored in the Danubia Orchestra’s concert, where the instruments themselves fall in love.
Mozart’s overture presents love from the side of intrigue: in the opera that follows, two men playfully test their lovers’ fidelity. Liszt’s Liebesträume was originally a song, but it became famous as a piano piece; many listeners recognize in it the passion that flares up and endures despite every storm. The story of Romeo and Juliet has inspired countless composers. Tchaikovsky created a symphonic work that turns our imaginary cinema screen into a true action film. The overture to Ruslan and Ludmila proclaims the triumph of fulfilled love. Shostakovich’s waltz is at once classical music, jazz, and popular hit, tinged with melancholy and longing for something—or someone. The Love Story themes by Francis Lai and Henry Mancini are even more nostalgic, leading us to Rezső Ott’s work, which encapsulates the history of love songs and romantic melodies in a single composition.
