Programme:
Wagner: Lohengrin: Prelude to Act I Berg: Violin Concerto Mahler: Symphony No.1 ‘Titan’
Wagner’s music is rarely so celestial as in the prelude to his drama of forgiveness and redemption.
Violinist, Ning Feng, returns to Auckland for Berg’s concerto ‘in memory of an angel’, contemplating nostalgia, tender affection, and rage against fate.
Mahler’s First Symphony begins with the primeval sound of the world awakening: it tells stories of love, death, nature; it ends with the sheer elation of being alive.
