The Gustav Mahler Youth Orchestra
One of Europe鈥檚 leading youth orchestras performs Austro-German and Hungarian classics spanning 70 years from around the turn of the 20th century into the 1960s.
麻豆官网首页入口 Proms: In this concert from the Proms archives, British conductor Jonathan Nott conducted the Gustav Mahler Jugendorchester in a programme framed by a pair of works famously used on the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick鈥檚 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey 鈥� Ligeti鈥檚 nebulous Atmosph猫res and Strauss鈥檚 visionary Also sprach Zarathustra. Leading German baritone Matthias Goerner sings Mahler鈥檚 harrowing set of meditations on infant mortality. Premiered at the 1912 Proms by Henry Wood, Schoenberg鈥檚 Five Orchestral Pieces contain the composer鈥檚 first painterly experiments in shaping melodies based on instrumental colours, as opposed to pitches.
Presented by Tom Service.
