| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Thursday 2-Dec-10 07:30pm Philharmonia Orchestra Like his friend and protégé Brahms, Schumann delayed writing his first symphony for many years, too in awe of Beethoven to imagine composing in the same form. But in 1841, after discovering Schubert’s Symphony No. 9, he took courage, and composed the Spring symphony, an exuberant work that remains one of his most popular. In this evening’s concert it is paired with Brahms’s own great Violin Concerto, written almost 40 years later, and the overture to Weber’s most well-loved opera, Der Freischütz. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Thursday 3-Feb-11 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Friend of Mahler and Schoenberg, the Austrian composer Franz Schmidt composed two towering masterpieces, The Book of Seven Seals and the Symphony No. 4 of 1932. The latter's plaintive strains are reminiscent at times of Bruckner, at times of Richard Strauss and early Schoenberg. Italian-born Fabio Luisi- principal conductor of the Vienna Symphony, the Staatskappelle Dresden, and the Semperoper, and soon to be general director of Zurich Opera--makes his Philadelphia Orchestra debut with this oft-neglected masterpiece, and is joined by French-born pianist Hélène Grimaud in Beethoven's tensile Fourth Concerto. Franz Liszt and others have characterized Beethoven's dramatic central movement as representing Orpheus taming the Furies at the gate of Hades. Luisi opens the program with the potpourri of tunes Weber used as the Overture to his opera Der Freischütz, including the famously bizarre "Wolf's Glen" music. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Friday 11-Feb-11 07:30pm London Philharmonic Orchestra At home, on 31 May 1841, Clara Schumann noticed the sounds of her husband at work. 'Robert's spirit is very active', she wrote in her diary. 'I hear the D minor wildly sounding in the distance, so that I know already in advance, it is once again a work emerging from the bottom of his heart.' She was right. The work taking shape was the Fourth Symphony: a continuously flowing masterpiece of beauty and subtlety. What Clara couldn't have known was that Robert was, at that very moment, writing her into his symphony. In the delicately winding string and bassoon theme of the work's opening, he movingly and purposefully captures their unerring love. | ||
