Daniel Harding conducts Mahler
Return to previous Page ›
Following Haitink's Mahler concerts with the London Symphony Orchestra in October, principal guest conductor Daniel Harding also turns to Mahler at the Barbican Hall. In each first half Christian Tetzlaff plays two remarkably different violin concertos.
Young German clarinettist and composer Jörg Widmann's Violin Concerto precedes Mahler's epic Sixth Symphony in the first concert (12 November). A musical journey from birth to death, the Sixth's final movement is characterised by two (or even three) fateful hammer blows.
The second concert (20 November) opens with bicentenary birthday-boy Mendelssohn's evergreen Violin Concerto in E minor Op 64 and closes with Deryck Cooke's orchestration of Mahler's Tenth Symphony. Left complete in short score, Cooke's orchestration sounds so unmistakably Mahlerian, allowing audiences to hear some of the most remarkable music ever conceived.
