Sir Simon Rattle conducts Dvořák, Mahler, Bartók, and Schubert — With Magdalena Kožená Chamber Orchestra of Europe

About

Following their roundly celebrated outings in 2020 and 2022, Sir Simon Rattle and the prestigious Chamber Orchestra of Europe team up once again — this time with Sir Simon's wife, the stupendous mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená, for an era-spanning evening charged with emotion at the famous Esterházy Palace! After a spirited opening with Dvořák's tempestuous Scherzo Capriccioso, Sir Simon and the COE welcome Kožená for two irresistible song cycles: five of Bartók's treasured Hungarian Folk Songs, inspired by tunes he collected traveling around his homeland; and Mahler's sublimely lyrical Rückert-Lieder, a work that marked a turning point in his compositional style. The grand finale is Schubert's majestic Symphony No. 9 — likely his most innovative and masterful symphony, inspired by Beethoven and known fittingly as "the Great."
