Back to Nature

Meistersingerhalle, Nuremberg 

Part of the Initiative PhilCO2 by the musicians of the Staatsphilharmonie Nürnberg

Piedmont is known for its cultural treasures: the Alps, good wine and for FIAT. In his “Trittico” Pizzini first depicts the beauty and tranquility of nature, which is then replaced in the third movement by the feverish hustle and bustle of car manufacturing in Turin. In almost untouched nature, the Älven (Swedish for "river" ) meanders from the spring to the sea, with only a few steamboats to be heard at the harbor. Full of colorful sonority, Atterberg's symphonic poem exhibits the best of the late romantic tradition. Finally, we go completely “back to nature” with Schumann’s “Rhine Symphony”, in a world which has not yet heard anything of industrialization.
