The Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1929 as one of the first radio symphony orchestras in Germany, is now one of the leading orchestras of the country and also enjoys an excellent international reputation. Together with its chief conductor Alain Altinoglu, it will be making a guest appearance at the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival this summer – with a brilliant concert programme that portrait artist 2025 Fazl Say is particularly looking forward to.
»I have a long and deep friendship with Alain. He is not only a gifted conductor, but also an outstanding pianist. Together we will play Bach’s C minor Double Concerto. This radiant baroque masterpiece forms an exciting and striking contrast to my concerto for two solo trumpets and orchestra: the trumpet parts are based on Anatolian singing with irregular time signatures, while the orchestral part is very pastel-coloured.« Another highlight of the evening is Dvoák’s timeless symphony »From the New World«, in which the composer brilliantly and colourfully exploits the full orchestral sound spectrum.
