Described by the Herald Tribune as ‘charismatic, brilliant [and] energetic’, conductor Anu Tali makes a welcome return to the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra for a programme that explores vibrant soundworlds. Sibelius’ Symphony No.2 conjures images of rugged, icy Nordic landscapes but is also full of optimism, with a series of short motifs that grow and develop towards a triumphant conclusion, interpreted by many as an unrelenting call for his country’s independence.
Liszt’s Hamlet weaves together drama and tragedy in a symphonic poem that depicts the Shakespearean hero, before award-winning Hungarian soloist Barnabás Kelemen performs Mozart’s Violin Concerto No.3.
This concert is part of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s 75th Anniversary Season. Passion, versatility and uncompromising artistic standards, as well as a belief that music is a gift that can bring people together and inspire positive change, have been RPO hallmarks for the past 75 years.
