Mark Elder Conducts the Halle
Sir Mark Elder returns to the Royal Albert Hall with his orchestra, the Halle. They begin with a performance of Berlioz's overture King Lear, inspired by that most tragic of Shakespeare's plays. Colin Matthews's Berceuse for Dresden has its London premiere, featuring solo cellist Leonard Elschenbroich. This piece was written to mark the rebuilding of the Dresden Frauenkirche, the church bombed by the Allies in 1945. The concert concludes with Mahler's Das Lied von der Erde, featuring mezzo-soprano Alice Coote and tenor Gregory Kunde.
