About this concert

This final double-bill in the Nash Ensemble’s Echoes of Romanticism series trains the spotlight on Vienna.

One of the imperial city’s favourite sons, Franz Schubert, is represented by an early trio movement and the irrepressibly tuneful ‘Trout’ Quintet. The cultural and political ferment of later Viennese society, satirised by Karl Kraus and stoked by the city’s Byzantine bureaucracy, is abundantly evident in music by Berg and Zemlinsky, and again the powerful Piano Quintet by the prodigiously gifted Korngold. And there’s even a Viennese waltz!
