Wed 5 Mar 2008 7:30pm at Symphony Hall
The CBSO is joined for the first official concert in the 2007/2008 Season by Andris Nelsons, who will take over from Sakari Oramo as Music Director in 2008, for an exciting concert which offers pieces engaged in a dialogue with the past.
Throughout musical history composers have always been fascinated by the music that came before them. Strauss’s best-loved opera is an affectionate love letter to the Viennese waltz, while a new concerto by one of today’s leading Austrian composers, Olga Neuwirth – especially composed for trumpet virtuoso Håkan Hardenberger – offers a kaleidoscope of Handel, jazz and memories of other music. Arvo Pärt’s timeless classic looks back to the spirituality of medieval music. Nelsons finishes the programme in style with Shostakovich’s exuberant pre-war symphony.
