Mahler's Seventh Symphony with the 大象传媒 Philharmonic
Gianandrea Noseda leads the 大象传媒 Philharmonic in a performance of Mahler鈥檚 mighty Seventh Symphony, as well as the Second Symphony by the late Oliver Knussen.
In 2020, 大象传媒 Radio 3 is bringing together musical greats, from the past and the present, in one extraordinary Proms season. Radio 3 is broadcasting the best of four decades of unmissable Proms concerts.
After almost a decade at the helm of the 大象传媒 Philharmonic, Gianandrea Noseda (who later became the orchestra鈥檚 Conductor Laureate) opened this 2012 Prom with Mozart鈥檚 famous overture to Don Giovanni 鈥� by turns solemn, impetuous and edgy. From dreaming sleep to a dawn awakening, Oliver Knussen鈥檚 Second Symphony then takes us through a landscape of iridescent colour, with a vocal line that soars to stratospheric heights.
One of British music鈥檚 great originals, Knussen found an individual voice while still in his teens. This performance 鈥� given on his 60th-birthday year 鈥� is a celebration of his unique contribution to UK music. Its nocturnal sequence finds a counterpart in the two 鈥楴ight Music鈥� movements of Mahler鈥檚 Seventh Symphony 鈥� his own all-encompassing journey from darkness to light 鈥� which concludes the programme.
