The evening

“They want me to write differently” said Anton Bruckner. “Certainly I could, but I must not”. And yes, it’s true that his vast, intensely heartfelt symphonies evoke strong reactions in listeners — the sound of a composer who saw further, heard differently, and expressed it all in sound that can seem to redefine time itself. For Ryan Wigglesworth, Bruckner’s Sixth is one of Romantic music’s most overwhelming experiences, profoundly moving and breathtakingly beautiful. Musical marmite or cathedral in sound? Decide for yourself, and before you do, savour the elegance, the playfulness and the sheer beauty of the 21-year-old Mozart. “Mozart has always been essential to my life” says soloist Elisabeth Brauss; expect poetry and enchantment in this exquisite concerto.
