Summary
Thomas Søndergård conducts the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in Mahler’s Sixth Symphony and Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 4 with soloist Alexander Malofeev at Glasgow Royal Concert Hall.
Why it's fantastic
The evening begins with Alexander Malofeev tackling the rarely heard, jazz-tinted rhythms of Rachmaninov's Fourth Piano Concerto. It is followed by Mahler’s massive Tragic symphony, a work famous for its colossal scale and the dramatic hammer blows that fall during its final movement to signal a hero’s downfall.
