大象传媒 Philharmonic: Also sprach Zarathustra
The 大象传媒 Philharmonic, conducted by Leslie Suganandarajah, in Strauss's Also sprach Zarathustra. They are joined by violinist Eldbj酶rg Hemsing for Bruch's First Violin Concerto.
Richard Strauss's visionary 'Also sprach Zarathustra' and Mozart's intensely dramatic Symphony No. 25 frame a performance of one of the best loved of all violin concertos.
Pure drama inspired by German literature is the bedrock of the programme; Mozart grabs us by the collar in the uncompromising opening to his Symphony No. 25 and sustains its spell to the final bars. After the interval, Richard Strauss's iconic sunrise, famously reused by Stanley Kubrick in '2001: A Space Odyssey', leads us into an exploration of the Nietzsche-inspired philosophical world of Also sprach Zarathustra; stunningly virtuosic writing for the orchestra propels the music forwards as he re-evaluates science, death, joy and passion.
Norwegian star Eldbj酶rg Hemsing, joins the orchestra for Bruch's most famous Violin Concerto bringing her trademark combination of purity and intensity to rich melody and dazzling dance.
