大象传媒

Live from the Barbican Hall
Presented by Ian Skelly

The 大象传媒 SO conducted by Marc Minkowski in music by Hans Rott, Bruckner's pupil and Mahler's contemporary. Plus Schubert's 4th Symphony and Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen.

Music by three Austrian composers. Schubert was 19 when he wrote his 4th Symphony in April 1816. Hans Rott died in 1884 at the age of 25, four years after completing his 1st Symphony. Coincidentally neither composer's symphony was performed in their lifetime.

Katerina Karneus joins for Mahler's great song cycle in which a grief-stricken lover reflects on his fate.

Schubert: Symphony no.4 in C minor, 'Tragic'
Mahler: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen

8.25pm Interval: Anton Bruckner, organ tutor to the young Hans Rott, provides the Prelude and Fugue to start tonight's interval. Then a performance by the 大象传媒 Singers of his setting of Robert Prutz's text 'Um Mitternacht'. Reporting that Rott improvised 'wonderfully' at the keyboard, we hear Bruckner's own Piano Sonata in G minor interpreted by Fumiko Shiraga.

c. 8.50pm
