Sunday August 21 2011, 8.30 p.m. STRESA, CONGRESS HALL
When these notes were written the winning piece of the Composition Competition had not yet been selected. But do we always need to know what we are going to hear – or it is enough just to say it will be a “meeting to listen to music together”? This would have two advantages: on the one hand it would create surprise, and on the other it would overcome the problem of comparing what we hear with the record we have at home. If we are open to surprise we might well find that even Brahms and Shostakovich can offer something new every time we listen to them.
