1h 44m
Hear the longing, feel the strength.
Conducted by Eivind Aadland, featuring Daniel Müller-Schott on cello.
The beloved Elgar Cello Concerto, full of longing and vulnerability, is complemented by the serenity of Brahms Symphony No 2.
Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto is one of the most beloved of all pieces of music. And it’s not hard to understand why. It has a vulnerability and integrity which people can relate to. In place of flashy heroics, Elgar brings us longing, doubt, struggle and the justness of the good fight. The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra welcomes back internationally renowned cellist Daniel Müller-Schott as soloist in this most profound of concertos. Complementing the concerto is the most idyllic of Brahms’s four symphonies, the Symphony No 2. Composed at a happy and peaceful time in Brahms’s life, it exudes contentment and serenity.
Chief conductor Eivind Aadland has a special affinity with the music of his compatriot Edvard Grieg. The concert opens with Grieg’s concert overture In Autumn, which suggests less the gentle fall of the leaf than the arrival of brutal autumn tempests.
