Vienna's Finest: Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

Over het evenement

Elegant and moving music from two of the finest composers ever to call Vienna their home: Mozart and Mahler. Pinchas Zukerman conducts and performs Mozart's Violin Concerto No. 3 with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Mozart's Third Violin Concerto, written when he was only nineteen, is full of youthful charm, with a slow movement of tender romance. The final rondo features a lively dance tune associated with Strasbourg, from which the Concerto gets its nickname. Mahler's Fourth Symphony, which opens with jingling sleigh‐bells, is one of his most delicate. Yet there is all the contrast you'd expect from Mahler: a quirky scherzo and a slow movement of yearning beauty, ending with the finale's soprano solo unfolding a child's vision of Heaven.

As one of the world's foremost ensembles, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra continues to delight audiences with its performances of classical masterpieces. The orchestra will be joined by a host of oustanding artists all of whom are renowned for their destinctive interpretations of classical music.
