The White Hat Guide to performances the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
 |
Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Beethoven and Dvorák
|
|
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Andrew Grams (conductor) and Andreas
Haefliger (piano).
The inspiration of the folk music and culture of his native Bohemia invests
Dvorák’s music with enormous energy and spirit, and his Seventh Symphony
explodes with all the passion and vigour of this inspiration. Paired with works
by two German masters who inspired him, this concert of great classics is pure
delight.
Dvorák took the Germane tradition of music developed by Beethoven and Brahms
and combined it with inspiration drawn from the folk music and culture of his
native Bohemia to create the wonderful Symphony No.7. It is both tuneful and
exuberant and well suited to a prom concert.

Melbourne Town Hall Proms - Enigma Variations
|
|
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra with Christopher Seaman (conductor), Radovan
Vlatkovic (horn) and Oystein Baadsvik tuba.
This concert celbrates the tenth anniversary of the Melbourne International
Festival of Brass and two of the world’s great brass soloists join the MSO.
Framing the classic concertos for the horn and tuba are the brilliant,
folksong-inspired orchestral variations by Kodály and the stirring Enigma
Variations by Elgar. The Enigma is a particularly appropriate choice because of
the starring and virtuosic role Elgar assigns teh brass in his masterly
orchestration.Presented in collaboration with the Melbourne International
Festival of Brass.
