Jonathan Darlington

Jean-Paul Gasparian

Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra

the Nuremberg Symphony Orchestra begins its 80th concert season! With their chief conductor Jonathan Darlington at the helm and the French star pianist Jean-Paul Gasparian at his side, they present music brimming with exuberant vitality and thrilling verve, with virtuoso brilliance and festive splendor, opening their anniversary season. It begins with Mozart's magnificent and fast-paced Haffner Symphony . Its first movement "must be quite fiery," wrote the composer, its finale "as swift as possible." For Robert Schumann, the "Mozart of the 19th century" was Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. His Piano Concerto No. 1 is a work full of youthful vigor, a firework of virtuoso pianistic eloquence. Finally, the crowning glory is an early symphonic masterpiece by the Czech national classic Antonín Dvorák – his "Fifth", both rurally idyllic and dramatically powerful in character.
