Three choirs, eight starry singers and one of the largest orchestras ever put on stage: there’s a reason why Mahler’s Eighth is often called the ‘Symphony of a Thousand’. The form of the piece, setting the candescent medieval poem Veni Creator Spiritus alongside the lyrical last scene of Goethe’s Faust is in itself radical and mysterious.At the core of the piece is a vast choir who seem to represent the whole human race in a passionate prayer for change but Mahler imagined they stood for something even greater: ‘Try to imagine the whole universe beginning to ring and resound,’ he challenged.‘There are no longer human voices, but planets and suns revolving.’ Exaggeration? Judge for yourself. Mahler’s Eighth Symphony is quite simply one of the most overwhelming experiences that music has to offer.This concert has been specially developed with the Southbank Centre, with further details to be announced. It is commissioned and produced by the Southbank Centre and London Philharmonic Orchestra
Known as the "Bohemian Bach," Baroque master Jan Dismas Zelenka made his career at the Dresden court. Conductor Václav Luks considers him Bach's equal. This concert presents Zelenka alongside works by Pisendel, Weber, and Koželuh. Czech early music specialist Luks frames the program with Zelenka and Leopold Koželuh, who succeeded Mozart at the Salzburg court. Koželuh's works are reminiscent of Beethoven and Schubert. Clarinetist Sharon Kam performs Weber's Clarinet Concerto No. 2.
