The Philharmonia at the Royal Festival Hall

From the Royal Festival Hall: Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Philharmonia in Mahler's uplifting First Symphony and Carolin Widmann joins them in Korngold's lush Violin Concerto

Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in Mahler and Korngold at the Royal Festival Hall.

The Philharmonia and their principal conductor are joined by violinist Carolin Widmann for the Hollywood-drenched Violin Concerto by Erich Korngold and, after the interval, the orchestra plays Mahler's First Symphony which begins almost imperceptibly before a spring dawn appears, it then passes via a Jewish wedding and an Alpine village dance before building to a thrilling climax with all seven horns of the orchestras horn section on their feet, bells in the air. The programme opens though with the hushed strings of the Philharmonia in the poignant Lyric for strings by George Walker, a work similar in mood to Barber's more famous Adagio.

Presented by Martin Handley.
