Ben Gernon’s first Bridgewater Hall concert as the orchestra’s Principal Guest Conductor is marked by a pair of firsts – the UK premiere of Anna Clyne’s intensely atmospheric nocturnal miniature, and Mahler’s debut symphony, completed when the composer was 27 and utterly alive with the possibilities of youth. The first performance of Mozart’s impassioned D minor Piano Concerto was given by the composer himself – but, in his absence, American Mozart specialist Richard Goode is the next best thing.
