About Donald Runnicles conducts Mahler’s First Symphony
Mahler’s First Symphony begins in near stillness, as if the music is forming as we listen. Then the world opens – birdsong, folk-like dances and heavenly melodies slowly breaking through the dark.
An expert in Germanic Romantic repertoire, Principal Guest Conductor Sir Donald Runnicles leads Mahler with dramatic instinct, drawing you through its shifting moods and sublime terrain.
Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto brings a different kind of intensity – its striking opening immediately giving way to wistful lyricism. Lukaš Vondraček, hailed for the ‘astonishing delicacy’ of his tone (The Washington Post), navigates its shifting moods with rare sensitivity, holding introspection and momentum in perfect balance.
