Presented by Catherine Bott, live from the Barbican Hall.
Chief Conductor Jiri Belohlávek conducts Mahler's Sixth Symphony with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra. Lars Vogt joins them in Mozart's Piano Concerto No 16 in D major, K451.
Mahler's vast Sixth Symphony, first performed in 1906, is recognised today for its extraordinary insights into the human condition. The work comes to a climax with the 'hammer blows of fate' which seem to pre-figure tragic events in the composer's life. The concert opens with an exquisite but rarely performed piano concerto by Mozart, performed by master pianist Lars Vogt.
