An Evening on which a Bavarian-styled Mozart Concert Was Performed… on the ‘European Stage’, 27th February, 2015

Friday, 27 February 2015 , ora 9.52
 
An evening when the strictness of the German spirit actually combines with the typically British boldness, as the conductor Daniel Harding, born in Oxford, 1975 will sit behind the music rack of the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra on Friday, 27th February. The concert will be held at the wonderful Hercules Hall of the Bavarian Radio, which can be found right in the centre of München, inside Residenz, the former royal palace of the Bavarian monarchs.

The conductor, Daniel Harding, brings forth a novelty to the orchestras he conducts, as well as to the public, the particularly hasty tempo which is characteristic of him, though accompanied by a large, descriptive sound, which brings stage music to mind.

A wonder child of the baton, Daniel Harding has conducted for the first time at the age of 13 and three years later, he began his career as the assistant conductor of Simon Rattle, in Birmingham. Since then he has often been invited by important European orchestras, such as, the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre National de France, the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and many others. In 2005 he gave opera music a go by hosting the inauguration of the Milan Scala Opera season.

On Friday, 27th February, at 21:00, on Radio Romania Music, you will be able to listen to Daniel Harding along with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in a concert programme which adjoins the last three symphonies of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Symphonies Nos. 39, 40 and 41. The brilliant Viennese author has written these three musical pieces in less than two months, in the summer of 1788, and the last of them later received the name of "Jupiter". Be our guests!
