| 7.30pm Milton Court Concert Hall Milton Court, Silk Street London EC2Y 9BH United Kingdom Details: Barbican Box Office Web site 02076388891 £15 - £40 | Britten Sinfonia - Elder conducts Mahler and Brahms Britten Sinfonia Sir Mark Elder, conductor Anna Stephany, mezzo-soprano Britten: Suite on English Folk Tunes Mahler: Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen Brahms: Symphony No. 2 Brahms as Brahms wished it to be heard: Sir Mark Elder joins Britten Sinfonia for the second instalment of their Brahms Symphony Cycle, paired with Mahler songs and Britten’s last completed orchestral work . Sir Mark Elder conducts Brahms’s radiant and bucolic 2nd symphony, in the second year of an acclaimed four-year symphony cycle. The cycle borrows from the spirit of early performances of the works by performing them with the musical forces that Brahms intended, to ‘exhilarating’ effect (The Times). The concert also traces a poetic line from Brahms’s symphonic Romanticism to more intimate evocations of poetry, love and nature in Mahler’s emotionally charged Songs for a Wayfarer, and Britten’s Suite on English Folk Tunes, the composer’s last completed orchestral work. |
