Münchner Philharmoniker: Rossini / Schubert / BeethovenHan-Na Chang (conductor), Anastasia Kobekina (cello)
This event is in the past.
Anastasia Kobekina is a talent to watch. In her debut with the Munich Philharmonic, she performs a masterpiece written for an all but forgotten instrument: the arpeggione. This hybrid of guitar and cello experienced a brief heyday in the 1820s before quickly falling into oblivion again – unlike the gem of chamber music that Schubert penned for the instrument, which the Philharmonic perform in an arrangement for cello and orchestra.

A cellist herself, the South Korean conductor Han-Na Chang is intimately familiar with the cello repertoire. The instrument also features in Gioachino Rossini’s overture to Guillaume Tell, before the fast-paced gallop familiar from numerous film scores ensues. Beethoven’s Symphony No 4, too, gives space for the cello to develop its warm sound, especially in the Adagio.
Programme
- Gioachino Rossini: Overture to Guillaume Tell
- Franz Schubert: Arpeggione Sonata in A minor D 821 (arranged for cello and orchestra by Antonio Tusa)
