RCO: Gatti Conducts Bruch & Mahler featuring Janine Jansen
Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
•
1h 30m
The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra's chief conductor Daniele Gatti and star violinist Janine Jansen unite in a virtuosic performance of Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1. Listening to the concerto, with its sweetly flowing melodies and blazing solo passages, one would never know that it took Bruch four years to write. The program is rounded off by an unconventional and thought-provoking presentation of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 1. At the premiere in 1889, the audience was ill-prepared for Mahler's bold orchestration, but the symphony gradually gained popularity. The Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by the composer himself, gave the Dutch premiere in 1903 with Mahler absolutely delighted exclaiming, "The musical culture in this country is stupendous. The way the people can just listen!"

RCO: Jansons Conducts Bruckner and Haydn
In many ways, Joseph Haydn and Anton Bruckner are polar opposites. Haydn was a natural talent, while Bruckner was a late bloomer. Haydn was self-assured, while Bruckner was plagued by insecurity and often plodded along laboriously. However, both produced outstanding music as evidenced by Haydn’s ...
