Discover why the critics say that ‘under Dutoit, the Sydney Symphony plays at its most refined’ as the Orchestra takes you to the peak of two masters’ achievements. Mozart’s towering final symphony is named after the king of the gods – and no wonder, it blends Olympian intellect with muscular power. However, this god is good-humoured and radiant, his brilliance emphasised by the masterful counterpoint of the finale. A childhood day on a mountain inspired Richard Strauss to create his grandest tone poem, what he called ‘an adoration of eternal glorious nature’. From the faint glimmering of night to a vision of transcendent beauty, An Alpine Symphony is a journey to the summit and back, painted in Strauss’ richest colours.
