Sobre este show
Composed when he was 84, Richard Strauss’s serene Four Last Songs speak of gratitude for a life well lived, the riches of creation, and the joy of human love. Strauss, who conducted the Philharmonia himself in its early days, wrote to soprano Kirsten Flagstad that the piece ‘should be at your disposal for a world premiere… with a first-class conductor and orchestra’. And it was with the Philharmonia that she gave that first performance in 1950.
Masabane Cecilia Rangwanasha follows in these illustrious footsteps. ‘The South African has a sumptuous, plush sound… Hear [her] live and it’s as if you’ve died and (sins allowing) gone straight to Heaven.’ (The Times).
Wagner evokes a much stormier kind of love in his Prelude and Liebestod. These two orchestral passages from his opera Tristan and Isolde are a musical embodiment of intense and passionate longing – the medieval lovers of the opera’s title can be united only in death.
Tchaikovsky’s final symphony crowns this evening’s programme. At the height of his compositional powers, Tchaikovsky overturned many of the conventions of the symphony. The second movement, which at first sounds like a graceful waltz, in fact has an unsettling five beats in a bar; the third reaches its climax with a blaze of brass and percussion which would have made the perfect triumphant finale; but the actual finale ends with a devastating descent into silence.

Biografia de Philharmonia Orchestra
The Philharmonia is an orchestra based in London. Since 1995 it has been based in the Royal Festival Hall. In Britain it is also the Resident Orchestra at De Montfort Hall, Leicester and the Bedford Corn Exchange.
The orchestra was founded in 1945 by Walter Legge, and although it did give the occasional live concert, it was mainly intended to be a recording orchestra for EMI, where Legge was an executive. Thomas Beecham led its debut concert in 1946, but he was ruled out as a long-term conductor of the group when he tried to take control of the orchestra and change its name (Beecham instead went on to found his own Royal Philharmonic Orchestra).
In its early years, many prominent conductors made recordings with the ensemble, including Arturo Toscanini and Wilhelm Furtwängler. However it was Herbert von Karajan (who was not allowed to work in Germany or Austria at the time because of his Nazi record) who was most associated with the Philharmonia in its early years. Karajan built the orchestra into one of the finest ensembles in the world, and made numerous recordings, including all the Beethoven symphonies.
The Philharmonia is the most recorded orchestra in the world, with over one thousand recordings. It has also been heard on the soundtracks of many films, performing the musical scores of such classics as Laurence Olivier's 1944 film version of Shakespeare's Henry V, and David Lean's film version of Oliver Twist (1948).
