At the Isarphilharmonie, the Munich-born composer performs Edward Elgar’s Cello Concerto – the composer’s last great work. Informed by the impressions of the First World War and Elgar’s concern for his seriously ill wife, the score conveys the omnipresent tragedy and sadness of 1919, the year of its composition. In his stirring interpretation, Daniel Müller-Schott will be accompanied by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of its principal conductor Vasily Petrushka, who will open the evening with Gluck’s overture to “Iphigenia in Aulis” and end it with Prokofiev’s music for the ballet “Romeo and Juliet”.
