Mozart royal, Mahler sans âme : Martin Fröst et Sakari Oramo à Genève

Thomas Muller, 21st March

Sous la direction de Sakari Oramo, l'Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Stockholm propose une Symphonie n° 1 de Mahler bien morne. Compensée heureusement par la clarinette stratosphérique de Martin Fröst dans Mozart.

Alexander Hall

Alexander Hall divides his time between London and Hamburg, where he had a career in academic administration and teaching. He reviews for Bachtrack and Opera Today, and has also reviewed for Classical Source. A connoisseur of the great orchestras of the world, his musical memories stretch back to Karajan/Berlin Phil, Mravinsky/Leningrad Phil, Bernstein/Vienna Phil, and he has seen most of the great conductors from the past, including Böhm, Klemperer, Kubelik, Ormandy and Szell.
