Penny Gore presents a week of concerts featuring Sir Simon Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, with the highlight being Mahler's 4th Symphony.

Penny Gore presents a week of concerts featuring Sir Simon Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic.

The climax of today's concert with Sir Simon Rattle is Gustav Mahler's Fourth Symphony, which stands out among the composer's monumental works with a sunny amiability. The programme opens with the premiere of a short piece by Wolfgang Rihm, followed by Gy枚rgy Ligeti's violin concerto, a work that impresses soloist Patricia Kopatchinskaja with its "colourful, ... sometimes flickering and sometimes floating auditory impression".

This concert is followed by a performance of an earlier, well loved violin concerto - Dvorak's - performed at the Easter Festival in Baden-Baden.
