Mozart’s music glitters with life.
His Piano Concerto No.19 is full of showstopping virtuosity, particularly in the final movement where the pace picks up and the soloist can really let loose. Star French pianist Lise de la Salle has been dazzling audiences since the age of nine and this piece is the perfect showcase for her prodigious talent in her Sydney Symphony debut.
Bruckner’s symphonies are awe-inspiring experiences, every bit as powerful and moving as those of his close friend and student Gustav Mahler. After our immersion in Mahler in recent seasons, the Sydney Symphony is ideally placed to tackle this gigantic piece.
You’ll find yourself pinned to your seat as the scale of his Seventh Symphony rolls over you. The ending of the first movement, with its cascading rivers of glowing brass and shimmering strings, hits with the intensity of first love. Like so many moments in this concert, it is glittering and powerful.
