| Palais des Beaux-Arts (BOZAR): Henri le Boeuf Concert Hall, Brussels, Rue Ravensteinstraat 23, B1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 9-Sep-10 08:00pm Mahler 2 World-class talent from Great Britain and Russia, Belgium’s best choir and one of the Netherlands’ leading orchestras: What more could anyone want? An inspiring conductor? We’ve got it! Rising star Yannick Nézet-Séguin has already made an enormous impression with his interpretation of Mahler – ‘so poignant it is guaranteed to make you cry’, according to Dutch daily newspaper the Volkskrant. Resurrection was the title Mahler gave to his majestic Second Symphony. The music paints a staggering vision of life after devastation and, accordingly, the symphony ends with a glorious conquest over death, with Sterben wird ich um zu leben as its climax. Mahler pulls out all the stops: ‘Aufersteh’n, ja aufersteh’n wirst du’. | ||

| Kimmel Center for Performing Arts, Verizon Hall, Philadelphia, PA, Philadelphia, PA 19102, United States Friday 29-Oct-10 08:00pm Philadelphia Orchestra Montreal-born Yannick Nézet-Séguin makes his third Philadelphia Orchestra subscription appearance with milestone symphonies by two Viennese masters working a century apart. Haydn's "Military," so named because of its trumpet-and-drum fanfare in the second movement, finds apt foil in Mahler's mighty Fifth, whose march-like first movement is said to echo the composer's childhood memories of bugle calls and military bands in his native Moravia. Currently principal conductor of the Rotterdam Philharmonic and principal guest conductor of the London Philharmonic, Nézet-Séguin is winner of a 2009 Royal Philharmonic Society Young Artist of the Year Award. At his 2009 appearance with The Philadelphia Orchestra, the Philadelphia Inquirer praised his "coloristically astute, emotionally anchored performance," and wrote that he "became the hero of his own concert by ceding the spotlight to all around him, making them look terrific." | ||

Royal Festival Hall, LondonBeethoven and Mahler |
|
![]() | ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Wednesday 19-Jan-11 07:30pm Beethoven and Mahler Where the darkness of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony (performed on 14 January) seems to end with a resounding ‘No’, its predecessor retains its fighting spirit from the single trumpet fanfare of its opening moments to the cock-a-hoop orchestral flourish of its closing ones. In between is an epic tussle between mourning and rapture. The music is assured, sweeping, changeable and hair-raising. Mahler had come of age. And if his trumpet heralds a new orchestral style, then Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto wrapped up history’s most remarkable cycle of concertos with suitably explosive and emotive power. | ||

Royal Festival Hall, LondonFranck and Fauré |

![]() | ||
| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 22-Jan-11 07:30pm Franck and Fauré After the fire and brimstone of settings by Mozart and Verdi, the contemplative, restful Requiem by Gabriel Fauré seemed to propose a new religious philosophy. Fauré’s work is at its most powerful when at its most calm and reassuring; its clean lines, pure vocal textures and elegant orchestrations feel characteristically French in their understatement. But César Frank created very French music, too, albeit with rather different means. His Symphony in D minor ‘risked a great deal’ in his own words. The expanse of Bruckner, the narrative suggestion of Liszt and the compelling ‘motto’ techniques of Beethoven combined to create Franck’s imposing signature work. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Wednesday 16-Feb-11 07:30pm Ravel and Berlioz As a performance of Shakespeare’s Hamlet unfurled before a Paris audience in 1827, one theatregoer got more than he bargained for. He not only ‘glimpsed the whole heaven of art’ on hearing Shakespeare’s text, but also fell madly in love with Harriet Smithson, the young Irish actress playing Ophelia. That audience member was a young composer, Hector Berlioz. Artistic possibility, passionate love and unerring striving fused in him. He became the great Romantic he’s known as today, and set about thrusting all his feelings into a yearning, heartfelt symphony, the Symphonie fantastique. Berlioz’s untouchable, captivating musical language was born. | ||

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Saturday 19-Feb-11 07:30pm Mozart and Mahler 1908, and the broken, vilified Mahler was forced to resign his directorship of the Vienna Court Opera. At this dusk of his compositional life he turned to his most cherished textural combination: voice and orchestra. The result was his Song of the Earth – an allegory of life and death; a summation of man’s existence on the planet; a final marrying of song and symphony. And Mahler achieves something in this music that Mozart had two centuries earlier in his Sinfonia Concertante. He lets us glimpse his own soul. Like Mozart had before him, he lays himself bare with the most achingly personal music imaginable. | ||
