|  |  Tilson Thomas conducts Schubert & BergFormer principal conductor Michael Tilson Thomas returns to the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican Hall for two concerts exploring Vienna at two points a century apart. Schubert, from the early 19th century, is paired with Berg 100 years later.The first concert (5 November) opens with Gil Shaham playing Berg's last work, the haunting Violin Concerto written "to the memory of an angel" (Alma Mahler's daughter Manon Gropius), which seductively connects Bach with serialism. Schubert's Ninth Symphony, the Great C major is the sole work after the interval.
In the second concert (8 November), baritone Matthias Goerne sings from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn, flanked by Schubert's music from Rosamunde and Berg's Three Orchestral Pieces Op 6, a powerful statement of the way music was going in 1916. |
