Andris Nelsons conducts pieces from Haydn, Dean and Strauss, featuring the immense talents of cellist Yo-Yo Ma and Hakan Hardenberger on trumpet.
A former child prodigy, Yo-Yo Ma has gone on to become one of the world's most in demand cellists. His career has seen him play all over the globe and release over 90 albums. With an eclectic taste and extensive repertoire, it is a joy to witness him whenever and whatever he plays.
Program
Haydn - Symphony No. 90
Dramatic and stirring this full orchestra piece even happily leads the audience into an exhilarating trap- translating Haydn's wicked sense of humour into the music.
Dean - Dramatis Personae
A triumphant piece, Hakan Hardenberger expertly leads with the trumpet.
Strauss - Don Quixote
Inspired by Cervantes Don Quixote, this 45 minute tonal poem reflects the characters of the novel, including Sancho Panza, who is representated by the bass clarinet.
