Maestro 5: Symphonic Rhapsody featuring orchestra member Nicholas Mooney
A bold, energetic concert full of exciting timeless and contemporary works
Written in the final days of the Second World War, Shostakovich’s Ninth Symphony is uncharacteristically classical in nature, with no sense of impending military victory. Yet it is a delightful work full of Shostakovich’s genius touches of orchestral colour.
The dramatic and folky Hungarian Rhapsody No.2 by Liszt opens the concert. The brisk and energetic dance rhythms of its homeland gather pace until they flash with fire.
Its partner piece, Elena Kats-Chernin’s Big Rhap, is inspired by childhood memories of hearing her mother rehearse this very piece. Never directly quoting Liszt’s piece, it instead recreates the bold energy and moments of quiet reflection of its inspiration.
Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) is joined by former Concertmaster Natsuko Yoshimoto (2021 to 2026) as soloist in Brahms’ sweetly lyrical Violin Concerto. At times furiously rollicking, at times elegantly sentimental, it remains one of the most beloved in classical music.
