Hannu Lintu & Steven Isserlis - Schubert and Schumann

This programme curated by Music Director Hannu Lintu begins fittingly with Schubert’s most famous symphony, the “Unfinished,” a work whose lyrical immediacy and structural boldness would echo far beyond his own time. Schubert’s legacy is taken up directly in Berio’s Rendering, the 20th-century Italian composer’s imaginative mosaic of the D. 936A Symphony Schubert sketched in the final weeks of his short life in 1828. In Rendering, Schubert’s symphonic poise dissolves into curious veils of celesta and then re-emerges, transformed, revealing the kintsugi-like artistry with which Berio restores and reimagines the fragments.

Schubert was also a profound inspiration to his younger contemporary Schumann, whose Cello Concerto completes the arc of the evening. Its poetic introspection and restless lyricism find a compelling advocate in British cellist Steven Isserlis, the soloist for tonight’s performance.
