Mozart, Liszt & Dante’s Inferno

When Thomas Adès conducts the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, a concert awaits where the large-scale visions of romanticism meet the glow of modernism and Dante's dramatic underworld. Franz Liszt's Les Préludes opens with philosophical images of the origin of the world, before Tomo Keller and Sascha Bota take the stage in Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's brilliant Sinfonia concertante, one of the most beloved works for violin and viola. After the intermission, the atmosphere deepens in the 100th anniversary jubilee György Kurtág's concentrated and charged Movement for Viola and Orchestra , before Adès himself leads us into his own musical interpretation of Inferno – a suite that vibrates with sharp contours, humour, heat and brilliant imagination.
