In 1899 Schoenberg was falling in love
with the sister of a colleague. At the
same time he read a poem by Richard
Dehmel, telling of a couple walking at
dusk in a wood; the woman confesses
that she is pregnant by another lover,
before the forest fills with moonlight and
the man proclaims that the strength of
their love will make the child their own.
The smitten Schoenberg was inspired to
create his most touching work, played
here against colourful, rich chamber
works by Dvořák and Martinů.
Tickets: £16
