WELCOME
Credit Suisse warmly welcomes you to this special musical event as Anne-Sophie Mutter returns to Sydney to perform one of the great violin concertos.
As Premier Partner, we were proud to support Anne-Sophie
Mutter’s Australian debut in 2012 as well as her return to
Sydney in 2014. It now gives us great pleasure to support her
third visit to Australia to perform with the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra.
Over the years we have supported the Sydney appearances
of some of the great names in classical music: in addition
to Anne-Sophie Mutter, these have included artists such as
pianists Lang Lang and Evgeny Kissin. These are celebrity
performers – very much in the spotlight of the musical world –
but we are also very proud to support projects ‘behind the
scenes’ that nurture musicians and music-lovers of the
future.
One of these initiatives is the Credit Suisse SSO Schools
Music Education Program, a three-year pilot program that
aims to provide primary school students access to a world-
class music education. This partnership with the SSO –
reaching more than a thousand students in its initial pilot –
will showcase the demonstrable link between music
education and academic performance, offering immediate
and long-term benefits for the students and their
communities.
Through our partnerships with the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra, we are equally proud to be supporting those at
the start, and at the pinnacle, of their musical journeys.

ABOUT THE MUSIC
KeynotesKALINNIKOVBorn Oryol District, Russia, 1866 Died Yalta, 1901
Vasily Kalinnikov grew up in poverty: even as his tremendous musical talent was recognised, his constitution was weakened and he died of tuberculosis two days short of his 35th birthday. Even so, he left a legacy of songs, choral works, piano pieces, an unfinished opera and more than a dozen orchestral works, including two symphonies. It was the First Symphony, completed when he was 29, that established his reputation, with performances throughout Europe, and it remains in the repertoire in Russia today.
SYMPHONY NO.1
A grand symphony in the Russian Romantic tradition, this work is full of memorable and lyrical melodies. The best of them are likely to become earworms tonight, not least because Kalinnikov adopts a cyclical structure in which principal themes are repeated in subsequent movements and then returned in the thrilling finale. The second movement establishes its atmosphere with glimmering bell-like effects and a melancholy song-like idea presented in gorgeous instrumental combinations: cor anglais with violas, then clarinet and cello. This is followed by a brilliant and boisterous Scherzo movement that suggests traditional dancing, even when the pace slows in the middle.
Vasily Sergeyevich Kalinnikov Symphony No.1 in G minorAllegro moderato
Andante commodamente
Scherzo (Allegro non troppo – Moderato assai)
Finale (Allegro moderato)
Puccini’s La Bohème romanticised the myth of the starving artist, but the all-too-brief life and career of the Russian composer Vasily Kalinnikov demonstrates the horrid reality of what can happen when artistic talent is not matched by financial security. The son of a minor police official, Kalinnikov grew up in a family so poor that the child prodigy suffered from cold and hunger, growing into adulthood with a blazing musical talent and a weakened physical constitution.
Everyone acknowledged the young multi-instrumentalist’s talent, whether as bassoonist, percussionist, violinist or composer, and ways were found to get him a seminary education and then entry to the Moscow Philharmonic School, but poverty and ill-health dogged him wherever he went. During the 1880s he was accepted without hesitation into the famed Moscow Conservatory but couldn’t afford the fees and had to abandon his studies, Tchaikovsky finding him a position in 1892 as the Musical Director of Moscow’s Malïy Theatre. He then took on a similar, additional role at the Italian Theatre but only months into the job had to abandon it, as tuberculosis began to exert its deathly grip.
Still aged in his 20s, the ailing Kalinnikov moved to the warmer climate of Yalta in the Crimea, where he composed two symphonies, incidental music for Alexey Tolstoy’s play Tsar Boris, a string quartet and a couple of minor tone poems, but his life was hellish and doomed. When Rachmaninoff visited him, Kalinnikov was living in such deprivation that the famous composer arranged publication of several of his works to help him out financially, but it all came too late. Kalinnikov died two days short of his 35th birthday, his new publisher noting that the premature death had increased the value of his small output tenfold, and duly paying Kalinnikov’s widow a handsome sum for the music left behind.
Kalinnikov had a rare gift for melody – the theme for his orchestral overture Bylina bears a striking similarity to that of the current Russian national anthem, composed many years later by Alexander Alexandrov, while much of Kalinnikov’s other orchestral writing has been compared with the sumptuous textures of his supporter Tchaikovsky. In terms of one melody after another, however, nothing compares with his First Symphony.
8
For the listener it’s like looking at an endless vista of rolling musical hills. While it earned him very little, the First Symphony was a much-admired work during the final years of Kalinnikov’s life. Composed in 1894–95, it was premiered in Kiev at a Russian Music Society concert in 1897 and subsequently performed in Moscow, Vienna and Berlin.
An immediately engaging work, this symphony is built on a cyclical form: its main themes return again and again, imprinting themselves on the memory even on a first hearing. And none does so more than the very ‘Russian-sounding’ opening theme of the first movement, stated first on unison strings and contrasted with more bustling secondary material initially introduced on the horns.
With soaring melodies and colourful orchestration, the spirit of Tchaikovsky is never far away, but in this first, and by far the most extensive movement of the symphony, keen-eared listeners may also find in one of its insistent march-like rhythms a precursor of a section from the finale of Elgar’s First Symphony, composed more than a decade later. Increasingly celebratory as it proceeds, with horns and grunting and lower strings punctuating the orchestral texture and driving it on through

…there are few easier works to appreciate on a first hearing…
tremendous climaxes, it reaches a dramatic conclusion, the main theme now firmly established – and destined to recur.
The slow movement is marked Andante commodamente – literally a comfortable, easy tempo. It opens hypnotically, the harp and violin providing a kind of ostinato over which oboe weaves a sublime melody, taken over by richly scored strings and other wind instruments. This is Russian sentimentalism at its finest – both shamelessly melodic yet painfully sad.
The Scherzo on the other hand is a jolly folk-dance, with chirruping winds and tripping strings, contrasted by an elegiac trio that provides moments of respite. After repeated alternations of mood, the bustling scherzo theme proper reasserts itself, with its scurrying strings, brass punctuations and swirling wind figurations ushering in a triumphant conclusion.
The Finale opens immediately with a restatement of the first movement’s main theme, but then that instantly recognisable tune disappears as the vibrant and energetic actual finale theme emerges. One by one, though, the finale works its way back through the themes from the previous three movements, buoyant in mood and rushing from one climax to another, with massive tunes in the brass, and orchestral tuttis filled with sound and fury. By the blazing conclusion, you feel like you know the symphony so well – there are few easier works to appreciate on a first hearing, and it prompts the question of just what its unfortunate composer might have achieved had he lived longer.

John Williams Markings for solo violin, strings and harpAnne-Sophie Mutter violinaustralian premiere
It may seem strange to begin a program note by pointing out that John Williams is the most Oscar-nominated person in history (his score to Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi being the most recent nomination). But Williams is also, probably unarguably, the world’s most famous composer for orchestra – reaching all age groups. Last September I saw the Hollywood Bowl (capacity 17,500) packed with young people waiting with their lightsabers to hear the music of an 85-year-old man. As a film composer, he ranges from banjo-harmonica music for Arthur Penn’s movie The Missouri Breaks to the ‘bebop’ of Catch Me If You Can, directed by Steven Spielberg. But Williams has also, during his career, created concert works, including, in 1976, a violin concerto recorded by Gil Shaham. (Incidentally, there are many musicians who enjoy Williams’ film music as music, without reference to the films.)
Anne-Sophie Mutter has commissioned leading composers such as Sofia Gubaidulina, Wolfgang Rihm and André Previn
KeynotesWILLIAMSBorn New York, 1932
John Williams is one of the most popular and successful American orchestral composers of the modern age. He is best-known for his film scores and is credited with restoring symphonic sound to the movies in the 1970s – putting the orchestra back into the cinema with his scores for The Poseidon Adventure, Jaws and Star Wars, the film that really made his name. But he is also a noted composer of concert works, which include many pieces for soloist and orchestra, among them concertos for flute, violin, clarinet, bassoon (The Five Sacred Trees), tuba and trumpet, as well as a cello concerto (premiered by Yo-Yo Ma).
When he was in his teens, John Williams moved to Los Angeles, where he studied composition privately with Castelnuovo-Tedesco. Later he attended the Juilliard School, studying piano with Rosina Lhevinne, and began his career working as a jazz pianist before returning to Los Angeles and the film industry, working with composers such as Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman and Franz Waxman. He has since become one of the most renowned composers for screen, in particular writing scores for all but three of Steven Spielberg’s feature films.
11
(who, according to New Music USA, remembers Williams from their days playing for a ballroom dance school ‘on La Brea Avenue’). Mutter wanted Williams to write a piece for her because, as she said in a 2017 Boston Globe interview: ‘He just understands how to write for instruments…how to put instruments into the best possible position to soar…’
Markings was premiered on 16 July 2017 at Tanglewood, Massachusetts, summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, whose Pops orchestra Williams has conducted for more than 30 years. Mutter was the soloist, the conductor Andris Nelsons.
Williams has written many tuneful violin solos in his films, but Markings is atonal. Tonight’s conductor, David Robertson, remarks on the way Williams ‘puts an atmosphere in place…we begin wondering about what kind of story will be told.’ He adds, ‘What really impresses me in the piece is the way that small intervals, notes that are very close together, evoke a kind of intimacy that is then constantly being pulled apart. It almost feels like something very personal comes under wide public scrutiny…’
Markings begins ‘hushed but warmly’. The violin sound is sonorous (but ‘reflective’), emphasising the low-sounding G-string, before ranging more widely. The soloist expounds song-like music over a slow tread before the music enters a dance-like phase (harp now joining), which is then pulled back for a cadenza before a short coda (the lyrical song again ascending into the violin’s highest range). What is this music about? Does Markings refer to the detailed attention to attack and declamation? Never mind, the music speaks to us directly and leaves us wishing for more.

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto in D major, Op.35Allegro moderato – Moderato assai
Canzonetta (Andante) –
Finale (Allegro vivacissimo)
Anne-Sophie Mutter violin
It was the winter of 1877, and Tchaikovsky was in love. He wrote to his brother Modest about the ‘unimaginable force’ of the passion that had developed; its object was a young violinist and student at the Moscow Conservatorium, Iosif Kotek. Tchaikovsky had known ‘this wonderful youth’ for about six years. In 1876 Kotek had also acted as a go-between for Tchaikovsky and his new patron, Nadezhda von Meck, who eschewed any face to face contact with the composer. Kotek was a devoted and affectionate but platonic friend to Tchaikovsky, but predictably enough, soon became besotted with a fellow (female) student.
The composer’s ardour cooled quickly, and within three weeks of discovering Kotek’s new relationship, Tchaikovsky had made his fateful proposal to Antonina Milyukova, a former Conservatorium student who had fallen in love with him. They married two months later, and as the depth of their cultural and
KeynotesTCHAIKOVSKYBorn Kamsko-Votkinsk, 1840 Died St Petersburg, 1893
Tchaikovsky represented a new direction for Russian music in the late 19th century: fully professional and cosmopolitan in outlook. He embraced the genres and forms of Western European tradition – symphonies, concertos and overtures – bringing to them an unrivalled gift for melody. His two most famous works for solo instrument and orchestra (the First Piano Concerto and the Violin Concerto) have become staples of the repertoire for their respective instruments.
VIOLIN CONCERTO
Tchaikovsky’s concerto is considered to be one of the most difficult in the repertoire, although the faults that early critics perceived in the work are now generally accepted as challenges, rather than flaws: this is a concerto that pushes both instrument and performer to technical extremes. The first movement in particular contains some highly virtuosic passagework, and its triumphant character means there is never a dull moment. The second movement begins with a melancholy theme, offset by a joyous central section. The pyrotechnics of the first movement return in the third (a lively Russian dance) and both soloist and orchestra are put through their paces.

personal differences quickly became clear, Tchaikovsky left his wife two months after that. Milyukova, incidentally, was not the deranged harpy that histories (or myth) have made of her. Her mental health degenerated only many years after Tchaikovsky’s death (and a subsequent happy relationship which produced children) and she never spoke ill of Tchaikovsky during his life or after his death. He for his part realised that he had treated her abominably, and saw to it that she was financially secure for the rest of her life.
Kotek and Tchaikovsky remained friends, however, and the Violin Concerto seems to have grown out of a promise that the composer made to write a piece for one of Kotek’s upcoming concerts. ‘We spoke,’ Tchaikovsky told his brother, ‘of the piece he ordered me to write...He repeated over and over that he would get angry if I didn’t write this piece.’ While Kotek was not, ultimately, the dedicatee or first performer of the work, he was of enormous help to Tchaikovsky in playing through sections of the piece as the composer finished them.
After leaving his wife, Tchaikovsky, accompanied by one or other of his brothers (and at one point Kotek himself), travelled extensively in western Europe. Tchaikovsky worked on the Violin Concerto in Switzerland in early 1878, not long after completing the Fourth Symphony and the opera Eugene Onegin. Commentators are generally agreed that both of those works reflect Tchaikovsky’s emotional reactions to the traumatic events of his marriage, though the composer himself was careful, in a letter to Mme von Meck, to point out that one could only depict such states in retrospect. In any event, it seems likely that, apart from honouring a promise to Kotek, Tchaikovsky found the conventions of the violin concerto offered a way of writing a large-scale work without the personal investment of the opera and symphony.
Like the great concertos of Beethoven, Brahms, Mendelssohn and Sibelius, Tchaikovsky’s is in D major and in three substantial movements. The first develops two characteristic themes within a tracery of brilliant virtuoso writing for the violin, and like Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky places the solo cadenza before the recapitulation of the opening material. As in the slow movement of the Fourth Symphony, the central Canzonetta works its magic by the deceptively simple repetition of its material. The work concludes with a bravura, ‘Slavic’ Finale which is interrupted only by a motif for solo oboe which for one writer recalls, nostalgically, a moment in the ‘Letter Scene’ from Onegin (which itself parallels the relationship between Tchaikovsky and Antonina).
The work was initially dedicated to the virtuoso Leopold Auer, who thought it far too difficult and refused to play it. (Auer eventually overcame his opposition to the concerto, playing it to

For a while the concerto has proportion, is musical, and is not without genius, but soon savagery gains the upper hand…The violin is no longer played: it is yanked about, it is torn asunder, it is beaten black and blue. [Of the Finale:] We see savage vulgar faces, we hear curses, we smell vodka…There are [lascivious] pictures which ‘stink in the eye’. Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto gives us for the first time the notion that there can be music that ‘stinks to the ear’.

great acclaim and introducing it to many of his pupils.) In 1881 Adolf Brodsky gave the premiere in Vienna, where that city’s most feared critic, Eduard Hanslick, tore the piece to shreds:
The violin is no longer played; it is pulled, torn, drubbed…We see plainly the savage vulgar faces, we hear curses, we smell vodka… Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto gives us for the first time the notion that there can be music that stinks to the ear.
Hanslick, like many a music critic, made a bad call; Tchaikovsky had written one of the best loved works of the concerto repertoire.

Listening Guide
The concerto opens with the kind of scene-setting introduction that also opens the first piano concerto, after which the soloist enters with a brief flourish, then announces the main theme of the first movement. Soon the second subject appears, a melody of great tenderness that is presented in a setting not dissimilar to those of Tchaikovsky’s famous violin solos in Swan Lake. From this point the temperature of the first movement rises considerably, with the solo part becoming much more virtuosic and the orchestral writing increasingly colourful, as the two themes undergo numerous brilliant transformations. There is a magnificently varied cadenza for the soloist.
Kotek felt Tchaikovsky’s original slow movement was too insubstantial and sentimental, and the composer agreed, replacing it with the Canzonetta. After a simple chordal introduction for the woodwinds, the soloist takes up a hushed, appropriately song-like theme. The accompaniment to the violin’s later decorations of this melody are scored with the utmost delicacy. This is one of Tchaikovsky’s most purely beautiful creations. (He eventually published the original slow movement as the Méditation in Souvenir d’un lieu cher, Op.42.)
The Finale follows on without a break, and immediately the soloist has a dazzling, short cadenza, which leads straight into the movement’s vigorous main theme, a short, folk-like dance tune. The second theme, introduced over a bagpipe-like drone on the strings, is a temporary lyrical resting-place in the movement’s wild infectiousness.
FROM A NOTE BY PHILLIP SAMETZ © 1996
The orchestra for Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto comprises pairs of flutes,
oboes, clarinets and bassoons; four horns, two trumpets, timpani and
strings.
The SSO first performed the concerto in 1938 under Percy Code with
Guila Bustabo as soloist, and most recently in 2016 with soloist Vadim
Gluzman and conductor Shiyeon Sung.

KALINNIKOV SYMPHONIES
There are few recordings to choose from if you want to discover more of Kalinnikov’s music, but if you’re impatient to listen to tonight’s symphony again search YouTube for the 2014 concert recording with Osmo Vänskä and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Among commercial releases it’s worth seeking out the USSR Symphony Orchestra and Yevgeny Svetlanov recording, which pairs Kalinnikov’s First Symphony with Borodin’s First. MUSICAL CONCEPTS (ALTO) 1316
Or for both Kalinnikov symphonies, look for Theodore Kuchar and the Ukrainian National Symphony Orchestra on Naxos.NAXOS 8.553417
JOHN WILLIAMS’ WORLDTo experience the breadth of John Williams’ music, look for The Music of America: John Williams, a 3-CD album in which the first two discs focus on his music for the concert hall, including Memoirs of a Geisha (a suite for cello and orchestra) and the bassoon concerto Five Sacred Trees. The third disc is an exhilarating collection of themes from such films as Star Wars, Jaws, Schindler’s List, Jurassic Park and E.T. SONY 770636

David Robertson – conductor, artist, thinker and American musical visionary – is a highly sought-after figure in the worlds of opera, orchestral music and new music. A consummate and deeply collaborative musician, he is hailed for his intensely committed music-making and celebrated worldwide as a champion of contemporary composers, an ingenious and adventurous programmer, and a masterful communicator and advocate for his art form.
He made his Australian debut with the SSO in 2003 and soon became a regular visitor to Sydney, with highlights including the Australian premiere of John Adams’ Doctor Atomic Symphony and concert performances of The Flying Dutchman. In 2014, his inaugural season as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director, he led the SSO on a tour of China. More recent highlights have included presentations of Elektra, Tristan und Isolde, Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis, and Porgy and Bess; the Australian premiere of Adams’ Scheherazade.2 violin concerto, Messiaen’s From the Canyons to the Stars and Stravinsky ballet scores (also recorded for CD release), as well as the SSO at Carriageworks series (2016–17).
Currently in his farewell season as Music Director of the St Louis Symphony, David Robertson has served as artistic leader to many musical institutions, including the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Orchestre National de Lyon, and – as a protégé of Pierre Boulez – Ensemble Intercontemporain. With frequent projects at the world’s leading opera houses, including the
Metropolitan Opera, La Scala, Bavarian State Opera, Théâtre du Châtelet and San Francisco Opera, he is also a frequent guest with major orchestras worldwide, conducting the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Boston and Chicago symphony orchestras, Philadelphia and Cleveland orchestras, Berlin Philharmonic, Staatskapelle Dresden, BBC Symphony Orchestra and Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra.
David Robertson is devoted to supporting young musicians and has worked with students at the Aspen, Tanglewood and Lucerne festivals; as well as the Paris Conservatoire, Juilliard School, Music Academy of the West, National Orchestral Institute (University of Maryland) and the National Youth Orchestra of Carnegie Hall.
His awards and accolades include Musical America Conductor of the Year (2000), Columbia University’s 2006 Ditson Conductor’s Award, and the 2005–06 ASCAP Morton Gould Award for Innovative Programming. In 2010, he was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2011 a Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
David Robertson was born in Santa Monica, California, and educated at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he studied French horn and composition before turning to conducting. He is married to pianist Orli Shaham.
The position of Chief Conductor and Artistic Director is also supported by Principal Partner Emirates.

Anne-Sophie Mutter is a musical phenomenon: for more than 40 years she has been a fixture in all the world’s major concert halls, making her mark on the classical music scene as a soloist, mentor and visionary.
As well as performing traditional repertoire, the four-time Grammy Award winner is equally committed to the future of music: she has premiered 26 works, and Sebastian Currier, Henri Dutilleux, Sofia Gubaidulina, Witold Lutosławski, Norbert Moret, Krzysztof Penderecki, André Previn, Wolfgang Rihm and John Williams are among the composers who have written for her. Furthermore, she dedicates herself to numerous benefit projects and to supporting tomorrow’s musical elite. She founded the Association of Friends of the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation (1997) and the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation (2008) – charitable institutions providing tailored support for scholarship recipients – and since 2011 she has regularly shared the spotlight on stage with her ensemble of fellows, Mutter’s Virtuosi.
Her 2018 calendar features performances in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America. In March she premiered André Previn’s Fifth Season for violin and piano at Carnegie Hall, and in November she will premiere a work for two violins by South Korean composer Chin Un-suk. The music of Penderecki provides a thematic focus for the year – commemorating the Polish composer’s 85th birthday and many years of friendship – and she will perform works he has dedicated to her:
Violin Concerto No.2 (Metamorphosen), Violin Sonata No.2, Duo concertante for violin and double bass, and La Follia for solo violin. Later this year she will add to her acclaimed discography with the release of an album of the music Penderecki has dedicated to her, including the first recording of Violin Sonata No.2.
Earlier this year, she was named an Honorary Member of the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and Poland awarded her the Gold Medal for Merit to Culture – Gloria Artis. Other recent additions to her many honours and accolades include the Romanian Order of Cultural Merit (Grand Officer), the French Order of the Arts and Literature (Commander) and Spain’s Gold Medal for Merit in the Fine Arts. She is also an Honorary Fellow of Keble College (Oxford University), a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2013 she was awarded the medal of the Lutosławski Society (Warsaw). She has also received the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Order of the Legion of Honour, the Bavarian Order of Honour, the Grand Austrian State Decoration of Honour and numerous other awards.
Anne-Sophie Mutter’s previous appearances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra were in 2012, performing the Beethoven concerto with Vladimir Ashkenazy, and 2014, when she directed a program of Mozart concertos from the violin.

SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Founded in 1932 by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra has evolved into one of the world’s finest orchestras as Sydney has become one of the world’s great cities. Resident at the iconic Sydney Opera House, the SSO also performs in venues throughout Sydney and regional New South Wales, and international tours to Europe, Asia and the USA have earned the orchestra worldwide recognition for artistic excellence.
Well on its way to becoming the premier orchestra of the Asia Pacific region, the SSO has toured China on five occasions, and in 2014 won the arts category in the Australian Government’s inaugural Australia-China Achievement Awards, recognising ground-breaking work in nurturing the cultural and artistic relationship between the two nations.
The orchestra’s first chief conductor was Sir Eugene Goossens, appointed in 1947; he was followed by Nicolai Malko, Dean Dixon, Moshe Atzmon, Willem van Otterloo, Louis Frémaux, Sir Charles Mackerras, Zdeněk Mácal, Stuart
Challender, Edo de Waart and Gianluigi Gelmetti. Vladimir Ashkenazy was Principal Conductor from 2009 to 2013. The orchestra’s history also boasts collaborations with legendary figures such as George Szell, Sir Thomas Beecham, Otto Klemperer and Igor Stravinsky.
The SSO’s award-winning Learning and Engagement program is central to its commitment to the future of live symphonic music, developing audiences and engaging the participation of young people. The orchestra promotes the work of Australian composers through performances, recordings and commissions. Recent premieres have included major works by Ross Edwards, Lee Bracegirdle, Gordon Kerry, Mary Finsterer, Nigel Westlake, Paul Stanhope and Georges Lentz, and recordings of music by Brett Dean have been released on both the BIS and SSO Live labels.
Other releases on the SSO Live label, established in 2006, include performances conducted by Alexander Lazarev, Sir Charles Mackerras and David Robertson, as well as the complete Mahler symphonies conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.
2018 is David Robertson’s fifth season as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director.
