Viennese Whirl
Martyn Brabbins conducts the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in music by Brahms and Schoenberg. Dame Sarah Connolly joins them for songs by Mahler and Zemlinsky in specially created arrangements.
Presented live from MediaCityUK, Salford by Tom McKinney
Sarah Connolly joins the 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Martyn Brabbins for an evening of music from Vienna. From Brahms's First Sextet, David Matthews's arrangement of the Andante brings expanded dimension to the piece. Zemlinsky's Six songs on poems by Maeterlinck are here heard in an arrangement by John Pickard; originally for piano and existing, too, in a version for large orchestra, tonight's performing edition draws inspiration from both to provide an intimate orchestral picture. A newly minted transcription of Mahler's Kindertotenlieder made by David Matthews specially for this concert sheds new light on this masterpiece and the programme ends with a classic, Schoenberg's First Chamber Symphony - a tour de force of of orchestra colour and virtuosity as seen through the lens of fifteen players.
