Sakari Oramo (Conductor)

The vibrant colours and heady, perfumed atmosphere of ancient Chinese poems are captured in all their richness by Mahler鈥檚 lavishly scored Das Lied von der Erde. Two star singers 鈥� tenor Stuart Skelton and mezzo Elisabeth Kulman, both regular 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra collaborators 鈥� join as soloists. Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo also conducts a pared-back 大象传媒 SO in Mozart鈥檚 exhilarating Symphony No 35 鈥楬affner鈥�, it鈥檚 bubbling, operatic with a contrast to the restless musical introspection of Thomas Larcher鈥檚 Nocturne Insomnia 鈥� the second of three performances of music by this fascinating Austrian composer in the 大象传媒 SO's 2018-19 Barbican season.
