Symphony’s Music Director’s attitudes, values, and artistic goals are behind this volatile rethinking of three of the greatest classical symphonies. Risks will be taken; innovations wil…
Where: Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC One of the potentially most exciting Vancouver Symphony Orchestra projects of this season is a performance of Mozart’s three last symphonies conducted by Otto Tausk, the new VSO Music Director. It’s an unusual idea, innovative in significant ways.Second, it’s a single composer proposition — and not that many figures stand up well under that sort of scrutiny.
Tausk confides: “My secret wish was to play all three without a break — but that is too much to expect from the musicians, or the audience! Even with an intermission, you can feel the tensions between them forming a trilogy of sorts. I have never dared to do this before, so I am eager to see how it will work out.”
Symphonic music fans know all three works; every conductor grapples with them. But Tausk aims to tackle two inherent challenges in presenting these masterworks in contemporary settings: how to make a 21st century orchestra play in the spirit of the performance styles of Mozart’s era; and how to imply that it is the musicians who are creating the interpretation, not the guy on the podium.
