ILLUMINATIONS
Thursday 17th October, 7.30pm, Hall One
Mysterious, urgent, complex and unprecedented, Mozart’ s last three symphonies seemed to appear from nowhere but at the same time carried a underlying power and passion that no generation has been able to ignore. Thomas Zehetmair conducts all three with the enchanting Salzburg Divertimenti, beginning here with the joyous explosion that is the Symphony No. 39 and luminous songs by Benjamin Britten from the ice-pure voice of Julie Fuchs.
