    Symphony No 35 ‘Haffner’

Andrew Manze Conductor
André Cebrian Flute

Elegant, buoyant and gloriously witty, Mozart’s Flute Concerto puts paid to the composer’s spurious claims that he couldn’t stand the instrument. In the hands of the SCO’s charismatic Principal Flute André Cebrián, it forms the sparkling centrepiece to a bold and richly flavoured concert conducted by the Orchestra’s inspirational Principal Guest Conductor, Andrew Manze.

Mozart was out to impress with the pomp and pageantry of his ‘Haffner’ Symphony, while Schmelzer transports us back in time with a collection of dramatic dances from decades before Bach. To open, Schoenberg pays affectionate tribute to Mahler in his warm, lyrical and little-known Second Chamber Symphony.
