Set List | 'Gejagte Form (revised version, 2002)', W Rihm, 'Oboe Concerto', R Strauss INTERVAL 'Symphony No.41 in C Major K551 - Jupiter, Mozart |
Performance Notes | Its difficult to imagine how Mozart could have followed his final symphony, the Jupiter a work of such scale, majesty and intensity. Tom Service and Nicholas Collon unpick Mozarts continuous stream of joy and invention, allowing us to get under the skin of this great work, which the Aurora Orchestra plays from memory. Before it, one of the worlds leading oboists, François Leleux, plays Strausss twisting, singing Oboe Concerto itself preceded by Wolfgang Rihms Hunted Form, whose animal energy suggests a pursuit more physical than a search merely for musical structure.
Proms debut of Francois Leleux.
