Patronage of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

The Sinfonia Christkoenig under Eduard Matscheko is no longer only known to insiders and is not without good reason under the patronage of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which “sent” an extraordinary soloist for this year’s first concert . This is a place where brilliant musicians come together. Dedication and passion can be heard in every tone and the enthusiastic, relaxed but nevertheless ambitiously determined approach to music is the basis of a high technical and artistic level. This is an orchestra which can easily compete with some of the guest orchestras in the Brucknerhaus. This comparison must be made as a German orchestra just recently failed there at Antonin Dvorak’s Cello Concerto, which on this Sunday was performed by the Sinfonia Christkoenig with beautiful sound and coherence. Admittedly, the soloist was Robert Nagy, solo cellist of the Vienna Philharmonic, who devoted his attention to almost every single note and could so fully concentrate on his enthusiastic and passionate interpretation and revel in beautiful sounds. The often difficult transitions were no problem at all … The final part of the concert consisted of Schumann’s “Spring Symphony”, which was absolutely wonderfully performed.
