Mahler Chamber Orchestra II
Mahler Chamber Orchestra
Pierre-Laurent Aimard piano/director
Haydn Symphony No.45 ‘Farewell’
Stockhausen Kontra-Punkte
Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5 ‘Emperor’
Haydn’s symphony is a whimsical choice of overture and an unlikely companion to Stockhausen’s glittering modernist classic, though they both feature a progression from full ensemble to the sparse textures of a single instrument.
The orchestra’s relationship with Pierre-Laurent Aimard as both conductor and soloist continues to flourish – here he completes a typical blend of old and new with one of Beethoven’s most ‘symphonic’ piano concertos.
Pre-performance talk Pierre-Laurent Aimard in conversation with Tom Service.
Snape 6pm. Admission free, but please book.
Evening out: best available seat for the concert, food and a soft drink from the Oyster Bar with a reserved table, tea or coffee in the interval, £36.50.

Pierre-Laurent Aimard
Widely acclaimed both as a key figure in the new music world and a uniquely significant musical voice in repertoire of the past, Pierre-Laurent Aimard enjoys an internationally celebrated career which transcends traditional boundaries.
In August 2007 he signed an exclusive recording contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft - his first disc under this agreement, Bach: Art of Fugue, was released in January 2008. His most recent recording of solo piano pieces - 'Hommage à Messiaen' - was released in October 2008.
Pierre-Laurent Aimard appears throughout the Aldeburgh Festival: in Collage Montage (13 June), with the BBC Symphony Orchestra (19 June), in conversation with composer Elliott Carter (20 June), with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra (25 June and 27 June), and in Fractures of the Familiar (27 June).
