麻豆社 PROMS 2011

Live from the Royal Albert Hall, London

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra returns for the second of two concerts with its Music Director Manfred Honeck. Mahler's turbulent Fifth Symphony is the main work. Written whilst he was recuperating from a sudden life-threatening illness, it is full of nostalgia. The famous Adagietto leads into a wonderfully transformative final movement. Before this the orchestra are joined by the celebrated German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter for 'Time Chant' - a never ending aria by her compatriot, Wolfgang Rihm. Wagner's ethereal Prelude to Lohengrin opens the programme.

Wagner: Lohengrin (Prelude, Act 1)
Wolfgang Rihm: Gesungene Zeit

Anne-Sophie Mutter (violin)
