Mozart Symphony No. 35 (Haffner)
Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 2*
Julian Anderson Past Hymns
Stravinsky Symphony in C

The International Conductors' Academy of the Allianz Cultural Foundation: Thomas Blunt (Mozart), Domingo Hindoyan (Beethoven/Anderson), Ward Stare (Stravinsky).
John Lill piano



His Symphony in C, Stravinsky once said, ‘could not have come to me before I had known the neon glitter of the Californian boulevards from a speeding automobile.’ But after the finely clipped topiary of Mozart’s Haffner Symphony and Beethoven’s Second Piano Concerto, Stravinsky’s music is a work of utter sense and contentment – colourful and a shade American, yes, but lucidly scored, enchantingly varied and gloriously symmetrical. It follows the elegy- tinged beauty of Julian Anderson’s 1997 chamber orchestra creation Past Hymns. Each piece in this concert of fascinating contrasts and similarities, is conducted by one of three brilliantly talented young conductors – individually searched out and invited for the purpose.
