Berlioz and Mahler from the Philharmonia
Berlioz's Les nuits d鈥櫭﹖茅 and Mahler's Fourth Symphony from the Philharmonia with Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali at the Royal Festival Hall.
Berlioz's Les nuits d鈥櫭﹖茅 and Mahler's Fourth Symphony from the Philharmonia.
The Philharmonia鈥檚 charismatic Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali, and soprano Anu Komsi, take on life鈥檚 big topics 鈥� love, death, nature, heaven 鈥� in this lush Romantic programme. At times folk-like and joyful, at others restless, Mahler鈥檚 Symphony No. 4 reflects his philosophy that 鈥渁 symphony must be like the world, it must contain everything.鈥� The work ends with a serene soprano solo describing the music of the angels 鈥� a child鈥檚 vision of heaven.
And before the Mahler, the Finnish soprano Anu Komsi is the soloist in Berlioz鈥檚 exquisite Les nuits d鈥櫭﹖茅. These six songs take us on a journey through burgeoning hope, love and loss and, in the final song, a renewed sense of anticipation at what the future might hold.
Presented by Georgia Mann.
