Selby plays Mozart - Tea & Symphony

05 April 2013

Venue: Concert Hall  View Seat Map
Presented by: Sydney Symphony

Drama and nostalgia come together with a Mozart piano concerto and gorgeous, decadent sounds from the Vienna of Gustav Klimt.

We regret that pianist Geoffrey Lancaster has had to withdraw from this concert because of illness. We’re grateful to Kathryn Selby for joining us at relatively short notice.

Description

Mozart’s final piano concerto is full of drama and tender expression, music that speaks as powerfully to listeners in the 21st century as it did two hundred years ago. We welcome Sydney pianist Kathryn Selby to the stage for what promises to be a virtuoso performance.

A nostalgic mood is set up by Franz Schreker’s Chamber Symphony, composed during World War I. Schreker was the ultimate Romantic at the dawn of a modern age. He shared with Mozart a theatrical instinct and exquisite craftsmanship. And with just 24 players he shapes a sound world of gleaming opulence and ravishing harmonies, sometimes firmly resting on its 19th-century heritage, sometimes dancing into a realm of shadows and nostalgia.
