Wiener Symphoniker / Petr Popelka
Mozart, Mao Fujita and Mahler 5
Mao Fujita’s sound world is very much at one with Mozart’s - with a translucence of tone that brings the music sparklingly to life. Gramophone
'Mozart's music smiles, even when it is sorrowful.' With that thought in mind, Mao Fujita steps onto the Blue Hall stage for the first time. In Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21, he lets his distinctive 'Fujita Sound' speak: clear, vulnerable, yet powerful. Critics praise his fresh, introspective playing style that liberates Mozart from tradition and lets the music breathe.
The Wiener Symphoniker breathes Mahler's Fifth like no other. This monumental work is one of the most beloved and fascinating symphonies ever written. With its dramatic contrasts - from soft, intimate lyricism to explosive outbursts - it touches something universal in every listener. Under the baton of Petr Popelka, these contrasts alternate with a naturalness that only years of experience can bring.
Mozart, Mahler and Mao Fujita: three entirely different worlds that come together in one unforgettable evening. Full of contrasts, deep emotions - and guaranteed to prompt more than one smile.
