Description

A feast for all the senses in the magnificent and historic Grand Hotel Giessbach 1875, overlooking Lake Brienz – with accommodation, hearty breakfast, and a delicious three-course menu. A program for octet with rich sound colors combines grand opera and symphonic music in refined arrangements: the sparkling overture by Rossini for "The Barber of Seville" opens the evening with humor and spirit, followed by the dazzling suite from Strauss's "Der Rosenkavalier," imbued with the joy of waltzes. Mozart's dramatic Symphony No. 40 in G minor K. 550 unfolds intense expressive power, while Schubert's German Dances bring charming lightness. The lively Polovtsian Dances by Borodin conclude this colorful program – a varied evening full of elegance, temperament, and finesse of chamber music.
