Schnittke: Concerto Grosso, Siem: Ojos Del Cielo, Mozart: Symphony No. 41

London

United Kingdom

With his Concerto Grosso No. 1, Alfred Schnittke tried to mix "serious" music with "popular" music, without making the results sound ironic. Although he brilliantly achieved his goal in this work, with its mix of baroque influences with elements of tango and atonality, he considered his goal to be utopian. Violinists Roman Simovic and Carmine Lauri play the solo roles in the concert, conducted by Ryan Wigglesworth, who is stepping in for Gianandrea Noseda with the London Symphony Orchestra. Schnittke's work is paired with Mozart's famous Jupiter Symphony, and in between comes a short, intense work by the young composer Sasha Siem entitled Ojos Del Cielo.
