Sommar Med Alma Mahler by Von Suppé, Mahler, A., Mussorgsky, С (2023/2023), Дирижёр Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, Konserthus, Стокгольм, Швеция

Rebecka Wallroth comes immediately in the wake of the shooting star Johanna Wallroth! Here, the younger sister is now making her debut with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Both are from Stockholm and both have been educated in Vienna. Little sister Rebecka Wallroth, six years younger than Johanna, has already won a number of prizes and an international breakthrough is probably on the way. In the fall of 2023, studies will continue at the opera studio at the Berliner Staatsoper. We hear Rebecka Wallroth in songs by Alma Mahler, who gave up her own composing when she married Gustav. The small but high-class list of works has above all been highlighted in recent years. The seven songs are original with piano, but are performed here in arrangements for orchestra. Among these is the evocative Die stille Stadt, and the music is a descent into shadowy moods in Vienna at the turn of the last century. However, the concert begins in a completely different Viennese expression, namely with a heel kick: the Austrian conductor Emmanuel Tjeknavorian leads the Royal Philharmonic in Franz von Suppé's overture to the operetta Light Cavalry. The ending is powerful with Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition in Maurice Ravel's famous orchestration.
