HARMONIC CONVERGENCE
With Steven Isserlis
Mark the music of the spheres — Nic McGegan guides our gaze to Haydn in his heyday and Classicism at its crystalline zenith. Mozart’s Symphony No. 17 sparkles with the summer of his sixteenth year. Sir William Herschel, who later discovered the planet Uranus, was still contemplating the structure of chords before he turned his telescope to the cosmos. Our own planets have aligned to bring star cellist Steven Isserlis back to perform Haydn’s Concerto for Violoncello No. 2 in D major, fresh off his 2018 GRAMMY®-nominated album, in a program featuring Haydn, father of both the symphony and the string quartet, in pieces that merge his mastery of both.
“I defy anyone not to smile at Steven Isserlis’s effervescent readings of Haydn’s graceful and urbane cello concertos … He spins an exquisitely light and agile line, maintaining a delightfully sunny disposition.” — The Guardian
