Mao Fujita Plays Mozart Part II
In the second of a pair of concerts with the Philharmonia Orchestra, the masterful pianist plays one of Mozart’s greatest piano concertos, his No.25.
The young Japanese pianist is taking the classical music world by storm with his technical mastery and ‘tremendous versatility’ (The Times).
Celebrated for his interpretation of Mozart, he makes a second stop in London as part of a UK tour with the Philharmonia.
Here he brings his glittering talent to Mozart’s 25th Piano Concerto, which is widely recognised as one of the composer’s grandest creations in this form.
Mendelssohn’s Reformation Symphony, written when he was just 21, showcases his unmistakable genius for melody and orchestral colour.
Mendelssohn wove Martin Luther’s hymn tune ‘Ein Feste Burg’ through the symphony’s final movement. Introduced by a gentle choir of woodwind, it builds to a powerful statement by the full orchestra.
Osmo Vänskä has chosen Missy Mazzoli’s These Worlds In Us to open the programme. Dedicated to the composer’s father, who was a soldier during the Vietnam War, it’s a moving reflection on memory, grief and love.
