In the second of a pair of concerts with the Philharmonia, Mao Fujita plays one of Mozart’s greatest concertos.
The young Japanese pianist is taking the classical music world by storm with his technical mastery and ‘tremendous versatility’ (The Times). Celebrated for his interpretation of Mozart, he makes a second stop in London as part of a UK tour with the Philharmonia.
Mendelssohn’s ‘Reformation’ Symphony, written when he was just 21, showcases his unmistakable genius for melody and orchestral colour. Mendelssohn wove Martin Luther’s hymn tune ‘Ein Feste Burg’ through the symphony’s final movement. Introduced by a gentle choir of woodwind, it builds to a powerful statement by the full orchestra.
Osmo Vänskä has chosen Missy Mazzoli’s These Worlds In Us to open the programme. Dedicated to the composer’s father, who was a soldier during the Vietnam War, it’s a moving reflection on memory, grief and love.
Mao Fujita plays Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 27, K. 595, on Sunday 2 March.
