This is Roberto Gerhard’s Symphony N° 3 «Collages». It demands great precision from the musicians and conductor… an easy feat for the London Symphony Orchestra and Sir Simon Rattle! This season, they return to the Grand Auditorium for our ears’ greatest delight, also performing Gustav Mahler’s heavenly Symphony N° 4, as well as Richard Strauss’s Four Last Songs.
For this episode of “the art of conducting”, we sat down with Sir Simon Rattle, the music director of the London Symphony Orchestra. He talked to us about what the lockdown situation looked like for orchestras, the rehearsing & composing process of Ondřej Adámek’s piece “Where are you”, the collaboration between conductor & musicians and much more! Special thanks to the Hotel le Place d’Armes and it’s team for the warm welcome!
