Yutaka Sado by Mozart, Mahler, De la (2023/2023), Dirijor Yutaka Sado, Teatro Goldoni, Livorno, Italy

Yutaka Sado is one of the major Japanese directors in business today. For his ORT debut, Sado presents two cornerstones of the Viennese repertoire: Mozart's Symphony K.550 and Mahler's Symphony No. 1 . But since the Malherian orchestra has truly titanic dimensions, in order to get closer to this score it resorts to rewriting for a smaller number of performers edited in 2008 by Klaus Simon. Opposite paths, one would think. While on the one hand with the symphony n. 40 by Mozart practically closes the compositional season of the Salzburg genius - closing which will become effective with the symphony n. 41 - on the other hand, Mahler's work begins the great symphonic cycle that will lead him to explore new horizons within the structure of the symphony.
