Wolfgang Rihm Gruß-Moment 2
Philharmonie Hall, Berlin
Germany
Berliner Philharmoniker
Sir Simon Rattle Conductor
Patricia Kopatchinskaja Violin
Camilla Tilling Soprano
The climax of this concert with Sir Simon Rattle is Gustav Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, which stands out among the composer’s monumental works with a sunny amiability. The evening opens with the premiere of a short piece by Wolfgang Rihm, followed by György Ligeti’s violin concerto, a work that impresses soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with its “colourful, … sometimes flickering and sometimes floating auditory impression”.
Also on 11th and 12th February.

John Adams at 70: Grand Pianola Music

Timo Andres and David Kaplan pianos
Britten Sinfonia
*Britten Sinfonia Academy
Joana Carneiro conductor
Cartoon capers and nostalgia remade in this technicolor 70th birthday toast to John Adams.
Every note of John Adams’s music is an exploration of the sounds that changed America. European romanticism, Looney Tunes, plus a shiny new work from thirty-something maverick composer Timo Andres: a concert that’s simultaneously nostalgic and forward-looking, as Adams is himself.
So take nothing for granted. You might find yourself relaxing into the lush world of Adams’s Grand Pianola Music – but the cartoon-inspired mayhem of Chamber Symphony? Blink and you miss it. It’s all part of the composer's new world, a potent inspiration to young American voices like Timo Andres. Under the powerhouse direction of Joana Carneiro, this will glow like neon.

Timothy Andres : Steady Hand for two pianos and orchestra
