Harp Concerto, Op. 25

interval

Nielsen

Symphony No. 4 (“Inextinguishable”), Op. 29

Conducting this continent-spanning concert will be a Grammy Award-winning ambassador of 20th and 21st century music. David Robertson is renowned not only for creating a positive atmosphere between himself and the orchestras he works with, his outstanding musicality and his clear gestures, but also for his imaginative, adventurous and exciting programmes. The head of the conducting department at the Juilliard School will open his concert with a short but enlightening and entertaining piece from Ligeti’s student years, followed by the Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s Harp Concerto, one of the most frequently played such works written for the instrument. Soloist Xavier de Maistre is, according to Gramophone, “capable of realising a remarkable range of nuance.” After the interval, the concert will conclude with a heroic struggle crafted – in Nielsen’s own style – into a symphony.
