BACH Concerto for 2 Violins in D minor
MAHLER Symphony No. 7
Pietari Inkinen Conductor and Violin
Vesa-Matti Leppänen Violin
Gustav Mahler's tantalising Seventh Symphony is as intriguing as
it is intoxicating. This complex symphony continues to fascinate
and beguile musicians and audiences. Conjuring fantastical night
visions, Mahler's music is animated by evocative mandolins,
spectral waltzes and a strangely triumphant finale that will
astound your senses and warm your spirit.
Such a magical score finds its perfect companion in Johann
Sebastian Bach's Concerto for Two Violins. This concert provides a
rare opportunity to see NZSO Music Director, Pietari Inkinen, take
on the role of violin soloist. Highlighting the impressive breadth
of this maestro's extraordinary talents, he will perform alongside
the hugely gifted NZSO Concertmaster Vesa-Matti Leppänen.
Experience the wonder of Bach as our two Finnish stars deftly
weave overlapping phrases of exquisite counterpoint, unveiling the
beauty and emotion of Bach's sublime concerto.
