“Now at last I have learned to orchestrate,” so remarked Richard Strauss wryly of his awe-inspiring Alpine Symphony.
Fielding quadruple winds, four Wagner tubas, two harps, organ, wind and thunder machines, cow bells, tam-tam and celesta on top of a standard orchestra, An Alpine Symphony is a musical odyssey from nocturnal embarkation to sunlit peak, forging its stalwart way through glacier, vertigo, storm and determination. Scale this towering masterpiece with the Singapore Symphony led by Hans Graf, accompanied by majestic scenes projected on screen at the Esplanade Concert Hall under the direction of musician-photographer Tobias Melle – An Alpine Symphony In Images.
Completing your journey, the highly acclaimed 24-year-old Swedish violin virtuoso Daniel Lozakovich stars in Korngold’s Violin Concerto – music of soaring emotions steeped in cinematic nostalgia.
