Programme
Olivier Messiaen – L’ascension
Interval
Gustav Mahler – Symphony No 4
Barbara Hannigan Conductor
Aphrodite Patoulidou Soprano
London Symphony Orchestra
Hosted by organist and journalist Oliver Condy
Unfortunately, due to illness, Barbara Hannigan will not sing the solo soprano part in the last movement of Mahler’s Symphony No. 4. Barbara will conduct the concert as planned, however the soprano solo will be sung instead by Aphrodite Patoulidou.
We herald the start of spring as Barbara Hannigan and the London Symphony Orchestra perform blissful visions of heaven from Mahler and Messiaen at Bath Forum.
Olivier Messiaen sends up a prayer, and the skies themselves seem to ring with majestic, multicoloured sounds. L’ascension was originally composed for orchestra in 1932-33 with Messiaen describing its four brief movements as “meditations for orchestra.”
For his 4th Symphony, Mahler gets inside the mind of a child. With a wild ride through blue skies, jangling sleigh bells and sudden, rapturous visions, this is a work exploring themes of childhood, innocence and spirituality.
The concert broadcast has been made possible thanks to sponsorship from Bristol Care Homes.
