Oramo conducts Mahler

Sakari Oramo conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in Mahler's Fifth Symphony and quirky Ligeti. Pianist Alexandra Dariescu joins them for Dora Peja膷evi膰's Phantasie Concertante.

From the hillsides of Transylvania, shepherds鈥� horns echo and resound. Gustav Mahler contemplates personal tragedy, then fights his way 鈥� through waltzes, storms and a heartfelt musical love letter 鈥� to life, hope and triumph. And Dora Peja膷evi膰 dreams out loud, in a neglected, impassioned masterpiece haunted by the shadows of the Great War.

Central Europe doesn鈥檛 stop at Vienna: although with Sakari Oramo conducting, Mahler鈥檚 Fifth Symphony is a truly epic way to launch the new 大象传媒SO season. But he begins with a wilder, stranger vision from a great Hungarian modernist 鈥� and joins pianist Alexandra Dariescu to champion the UK premiere of the Phantasie Concertante by Dora Peja膷evi膰, the Croatian composer whose symphony was described as 鈥渁 genuine find鈥� when Oramo recorded it in 2022.
