LPO: Karina Canellakis conducts Schumann & Bruckner
From forest shadows to sunlit peaks; quiet melancholy to heaven-storming joy. Karina Canellakis presents a programme of passion and adventure.
Mists swirl, the air shivers and somewhere, far away, a solitary horn sounds a call to adventure. There might be symphonies that open more beautifully than Bruckner’s Fourth, but we can’t think of any! And that’s just the beginning of a musical journey that sweeps from forest shadows to sunlit peaks; quiet melancholy to heaven-storming joy. In Bruckner’s 200th anniversary year, the LPO’s inspirational Principal Guest Conductor Karina Canellakis makes it the climax of a deeply romantic programme that also stars cellist Truls Mørk in the tender, passionate music of Robert Schumann – a composer with the soul of a poet.
