HIGHLIGHT
Messiaen’s Les offrandes oubliées is inspired by the Biblical story of the crucifixion, while Berg’s Violin Concerto was written in memory of the young daughter of Alma Mahler (Gustav’s widow) and her second husband, Walter Gropius. Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.1 suffered a disastrous premiere and fell into oblivion, rediscovered for its second performance only in 1945, two years after the composer’s death. All three works are branded by the theme of death, yet they are also revered as masterpieces today!
