Sir Simon Rattle & London Symphony Orchestra

Sir Simon Rattle & London Symphony Orchestra

Sir Simon Rattle conducts the London Symphony Orchestra (LSO) in a concert program consisting of Antonín Dvořák's Scherzo Capriccioso in D-flat major, Op. 66, and selections from Act II of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's famous ballet The Nutcracker (1892). Dvořák's Scherzo Capriccioso (1883) reflects a period of personal crisis for the composer. The work betrays ever-changing moods and a constant sense of inner restlessness. In the music of The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky combined memorable melodies with colorful orchestration, which has enchanted listeners for decades. This performance was recorded at LSO St Luke's in London, UK, on March 18, 2021.

Swiss conductor Philippe Jordan and the Orchestre de l'Opéra national de Paris recorded all of Ludwig van Beethoven's symphonies in 2014-2015. In this program, maestro Jordan presents Beethoven's final symphony: Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125. He conducts the Orchestre and Choeurs de l'Opéra national de Paris and four vocal soloists Ricarda Merbeth (soprano), Daniela Sindram (mezzosoprano), Robert Dean Smith (tenor), and Günther Groissböck (bass). Beethoven composed his last Symphony when his hearing had all but gone, between 1822 and 1824. Symphony No. 9 is the longest and most ambitious of Beethoven's symphonies. Most striking is the piece's finale movement, which includes a choir and four vocal soloists singing a setting of Friedrich Schiller's poem ‘An die Freude' (Ode to Joy). This performance was recorded at Opéra Bastille in Paris, France, in 2015.

Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería & José Areán

Mahler's Kindertotenlieder (Songs on the Death of Children) is a deeply personal song cycle for voice and orchestra inspired by Friedrich Rückert's poems about the loss of his children. The work's emotional depth comes from its unflinching portrayal of grief through a powerful juxtaposition of natural imagery and intimate parental pain. Audiences are captivated by the work's profound expression of universal human sorrow and the raw, restrained intensity of Mahler's masterful musical depiction of a parent's pain.
