Mozart Overture to The Marriage of Figaro
R Strauss Horn Concerto No1
Bruckner Symphony No8
Thomas Søndergård Conductor
Felix Klieser Horn
Phenomenal horn player Felix Klieser takes the spotlight in tonight’s concert. He’s the perfect soloist for Richard Strauss’ swashbuckler of a concerto, and even that is just the upbeat to what comes next, as Thomas Søndergård and the full RSNO embark on one of the greatest adventures in 19th-century music; Bruckner’s colossal Eighth Symphony. It’s been compared to a cathedral in sound and a mighty mountain range. Either way, you simply have to hear this breathtakingly beautiful music live.
