The Hall茅
Olari Elts (conductor)
The concert begins with the orchestral interlude from Strauss's last opera Intermezzo, based on the composer's own domestic life and inspired by the light comedies of the 18th century.
Chopin's Second Piano Concerto is played by Sunwook Kim, who won the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition in 2006, aged just 18. Beethoven's First Symphony is prefaced by Brett Dean's Testament; it was inspired by the Heiligenstadt Testament, the famous Last Will and Testament which Beethoven wrote when he realised that he was beginning to suffer from hearing problems.
