Overview

"I've got to see real winters again, and spring that bursts into being from one moment to the next. I've got to hear Russian sounds in my ears again and talk to people who are my own flesh and blood, so that they can give me back something that I lack here: their songs, my songs." In 1935, when the then Paris-based Sergei Prokofiev wrote his Second Violin Concerto - in which Julian Rachlin will set sparks flying, both as soloist and conductor - he did so in anticipation of his eagerly awaited return to his homeland, which had, of course, transformed from the Tsarist Empire into the Soviet Union.

Yearning also permeates Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, written nearly 50 years earlier, not only in the slow movement's famous horn melody: a yearning for the certainty that, despite all his melancholy, he still possessed enough creative power to create another great work. It would become another symphony of fate. In contrast, yearning-filled rebellion against a merciless fate pulses through the Tragic Overture by Johannes Brahms, providing the dramatic start to Herbstgold 2023's gripping opening concert with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe.

Esterhazyplatz 1

Palace Еsterházy Palace (Schloss Esterházy) - castle in Eisenstadt, the capital of Burgenland, the former possession of the Esterhazy family.

The castle was founded in the late XIII century, in the early XVII century the castle and the area around it became the property of Esterhazy. In 1633-1672 gg manor was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Since the XVIII century, the interiors begin to be converted into the style of classicism. The composer Joseph Haydn lived and worked in the Palace for a long time. Many of his works were performed here for the first time for members of the princely family.

After world war II, the castle housed the Burgenland government and the national court. Formally, the owner of the estate continues to be considered Esterhazy.

Esterhazy-a luxurious Palace with a beautiful English Park, a copy of Versailles. Today it is a venue for cultural events under the auspices of the private Esterhazy Foundation. The Haydn hall regularly hosts concerts of symphonic music.
