Alan Gilbert and Isabelle Faust
tickets
info
Alan Gilbert describes Robert Schumann's Second Symphony as a “musical autobiography.” It is about love for his wife Clara as well as his musical role model Johann Sebastian Bach. Inspired by his music, Schumann combined dense contrapuntal work with beguiling heartfelt melodies. Brett Dean, composer in residence this season, describes his violin concerto The Lost Art of Letter Writing as a “pretty tricky number” — made for Isabelle Faust's flawless virtuosity. Sensual and fragile, Dean conjures up a nostalgic world in which people still wrote letters to each other.
