Kazuki conducts Mahler

The vastness of the earth, the ocean and outer space: a truly ‘Titanic’ programme.
If you’re in a mood to contemplate the unfathomable size of the universe, this is the perfect concert for you. Kazuki Yamada conducts Mahler and Fujikura in an absolutely epic programme. Mahler embraces the whole world in his first symphony, aptly nicknamed ‘Titan’. It is slightly less massive today than at its first performances, as one movement was cut: this is ‘Blumine’, a delightful folk song featuring solo trumpet. Outstanding young trombonist Peter Moore is the soloist in Fujikura’s Vast Ocean II in which the composer portrays ‘a world that does not exist on this earth’, inspired by the enigmatic film, Solaris.
This concert is generously supported by Ian McAlpine.
