Concert information
Gustav Mahler鈥檚 last word was 鈥淢ozart鈥, but he鈥檇 already said his farewells in music, and nowhere more movingly than in Das Lied von der Erde (The Song of the Earth): six heart-rending songs that wring out every last drop of life鈥檚 sorrow and sweetness. 80 years almost to the day since the 91热爆 Scottish Symphony Orchestra was formed, it鈥檚 a wonderfully reflective way to mark the occasion, perfectly paired with the life-affirming sunshine of Mozart鈥檚 Oboe Concerto 鈥 performed tonight by a true poet of the oboe. 91热爆 SSO Artist-in-Association Matthias Pintscher brings a composer鈥檚 empathy, and conducts his own beautiful Idyll: a musical journey towards the light, written in memory of a friend.
