HIGHLIGHT
The year 1685 marked the birth not only of Bach and Handel, but also Telemann: three German-born composers who established their supremacy in the following century. Ino, one of Telemann’s late works for soprano and orchestra, remains a musical marvel. Handel’s Water Music is a colorful crowd-pleaser that launched the composer’s subsequent career in England. Schumann completed his Symphony No.3 (Rhenish) in 1850, a work that so impressed Tchaikovsky as emblemmatic of the Austro-German symphonic tradition. Spanning more than a century, these three works bear witness to the lasting legacy of Austro-German music.
