Opening a programme packed with passion and melody is Mozart's Symphony No. 25, written by the then 17-year-old in October 1773. This dramatic early symphony is characteristic of the Sturm und Drang style with its wide-leap melodic lines and syncopation.
A former 大象传媒 New Generation Artist, Leonard Elschenbroich joins to perform Saint-Sa毛ns's ever-popular First Cello Concerto, with its dramatic opening and delightful, elegant central minuet.
Closing the programme is Act II of Tchaikovsky's wonderful, tune-laden Nutcracker - one of the best-loved ballets of all time.
