Auckland Philharmonia principal musicians take centre stage for Mozart’s amiable concerto for a group of star wind players.
Another of our stars, Concertmaster Andrew Beer, plays an arrangement of Wagner’s passionate song (originally a poem by his illicit lover Mathilde). Abundant passion too can be felt in Schoenberg’s lush, late-Romantic tone-poem for strings.
To open, Giordano Bellincampi conducts a work by ‘The Waltz King’ — more than simple dance music, it is shot through with autumnal nostalgia.
Presented in association with ICBC.
