Strauss Wind Concertos
Strauss’ father was a leading horn player, so it’s not surprising that the horn plays a major role in his music. The First Horn Concerto (1883), written when the composer was in his teens, has a tuneful freshness reminiscent of Schumann; the Second (1942) is nostalgic in mood.
Strauss’ Duet Concertino (1947) recreates Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Swineherd, with the two soloists, clarinet and bassoon, representing the Princess and the Swineherd characters. We finish with Schubert’s First Symphony, another work by a precocious teenager.
Though it contains echoes of Classical precursors, Schubert’s individuality, not least in his melodic invention, shines through.
