ARTS CHANNEL – Wednesday 30 June, 9.00pm
One of the best orchestras in the world, Staatskapelle Dresden, deploys under its current principal conductor, Fabio Luisi, its sumptuous sonorities on Mahler’s grandiose First Symphony in a performance fulsomely praised by S�ddeutsche Zeitung: “Whether in the wild Scherzo or the satirical Funeral March or in the work’s expressive melodies, everything made sense.” The concert’s magnificent soloist, Margarita H�henrieder balanced refinement and beauty with wit, sparkle and thunder. Her play is clear and secure and suites the exquisite orchestral performance with strings particularly energetic and gripping in a way that only live performances can convey – and then only the most precise, and cohesive ones. Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 1 in C Major, Op. 15; Mahler: Symphony No. 1 in D Major; Genzmer: Suite in C for piano
