Knussen Flourish with Fireworks
Ravel Piano Concerto in G major
Mahler Symphony No7
Thomas Søndergård Conductor
Francesco Piemontesi Piano
The symphony should be like the world,’ declared Gustav Mahler, ‘it should embrace everything!’ His mighty Seventh Symphony does exactly that: a wild, wonderful journey through Alpine storms, moonlit serenades, dark fairy tales and pure, roof-raising joy. With Oliver Knussen’s sonic fireworks to begin and the incredible Francesco Piemontesi in Ravel’s sparkling Concerto, join Scotland’s National Orchestra and Music Director Thomas Søndergård for this spectacular opening of the new Concert Season.
