Programme

Concert information

What is German music? Boris Blacher鈥檚 music buzzes with the sophistication and wit of the city that he made his home, Berlin 鈥 yet he was born in China. Haydn was born on the Hungarian border 鈥 but his joyous C major Cello Concerto sings with all the elegance and flair of an Italian tenor. And Brahms鈥檚 tempestuous First Symphony was initially billed as 鈥淏eethoven鈥檚 Tenth鈥, but turned out to be something a lot more poetic and personal. There鈥檚 no one answer in this concert with guest conductor Christoph K枚nig: just three great composers giving heart and soul, and a sparkling solo performance from a cellist of unique charisma and style.

Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Johannes Moser talks about the joys and challenges of his busy life as a soloist.

The main concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
