Stabat Mater
Jac van Steen conducts the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales in Mahler and Pergolesi. Violinist Jack Liebeck is the soloist in Arvo Part's Fratres.
Live from Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, Nicola Heywood Thomas presents a concert in which the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales and conductor Jac van Steen play two final works by Mahler and Pergolesi, and one by a living composer, Arvo P盲rt.
The concert begins with Mahler's final symphony, which was left unfinished at his death. Tonight, we will hear the Adagio from that work in a relatively new chamber arrangement by conductor and composer Michelle Castelletti. Arvo P盲rt's meditative Fratres follows, a tintinnabulous work which has no set orchestration, played here by violin soloist Jack Liebeck, alongside the strings and percussion of the 大象传媒 National Orchestra of Wales. The concert ends with Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's setting of the Stabat Mater. He composed the work in the final weeks of his life, using an incredibly advanced sense of harmony for his time, and combining gravitas with the lightness of his comic operas, creating a truly original work which speaks profoundly across the ages.
