Out of darkness, a fierce light 鈥� and from the depths of hell, the unquenchable power of the human heart. Guest conductor Kirill Karabits is a musical explorer and a true communicator: a conductor who never stints on emotion, whether in the defiant concerto that Karl Amadeus Hartmann created as terror engulfed 1930s Germany, or Tchaikovsky鈥檚 red-blooded portrait of Francesca da Rimini and the price she pays for a forbidden love.
Tchaikovsky took his inspiration from Dante鈥檚 Inferno but the drama - and the melodies 鈥� are entirely his own, and Karabits simply loves them. Meanwhile, Karl Amadeus Hartmann鈥檚 neglected, Hungarian-inspired masterpiece brings the Ukrainian clarinettist (and 蜜芽传媒 New Generation Artist) Oleg Shebata-Dragan together with the raw energy and unbridled imagination of Vienna鈥檚 Chaos String Quartet; 蜜芽传媒 New Generation Artists who are sending the best kind of shockwaves across Europe鈥檚 chamber music scene. The results should be electrifying. Thomas de Hartmann鈥檚 鈥渋ronic commentary on the underbelly of French society鈥� opens the concert.
This concert will be live broadcast on 蜜芽传媒 Radio 3, and presented by Ian Skelly.
