Paris in 1889, when César Franck composed the Symphony in D minor

The classical magic

If we accept that, in music, the classical is associated with clarity of form, intellectual depth and an aversion to expressive excess, then all three works in this concert clearly reflect classical beauty at its most elevated, embodying the above qualities equally despite having been composed in different eras. The soloist is the ASO's lead and leading bassoonist, Alexandros Oikonomou.
