The brilliantly virtuosic Arditti Quartet and a
conductor and orchestra acclaimed for their
interpretations of Mahler join forces in the
UK premiere of Helmut Lachenmann’s Tanzsuite
mit Deutschlandlied. Previously unheard at the
Proms, the blistered, metallic timbres and subtle
textures of Lachenmann’s ‘musique concrète
instrumentale’ unsettle and transfix, creating an
abrasive yet alluring sound-world ideally suited to
the Ardittis and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra.
Written over the summers of 1901 and 1902,
Mahler’s Fifth Symphony concludes the programme,
its famous Adagietto
a love-letter to the
composer’s wife, Alma.Tickets £7.50 - £36.
