Concert Information

Beneath the gorgeous surface of the Romantic era passions ran deep, and a simple dance rhythm could be enough to set pulses racing and hearts pounding. Weber鈥檚 鈥業nvitation to the Dance鈥 begins with quiet courtesy, but in Berlioz鈥檚 silken, bejewelled orchestration it positively whirls you off your feet. Brahms, meanwhile, starts his First Piano Quartet with three movements of controlled and mellow emotion, before suddenly cutting loose in the wildest, craziest folk-dance he ever wrote. Arnold Schoenberg loved this piece, and his uproariously entertaining orchestral version doesn鈥檛 stint on either colour or panache. You simply have to hear it performed live, and that goes double when regular 大象传媒 SSO guest conductor Alexander Vedernikov joins the distinguished German cellist Johannes Moser in Schumann鈥檚 Cello Concerto. For Moser, Schumann is 鈥渁 poet鈥, whose deeply expressive music speaks to him in 鈥渂eautiful vowels and consonants鈥. This underrated concerto comes straight from the heart of one of music鈥檚 most ardent spirits 鈥 and Moser speaks its language as a native.

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