Royal Northern Sinfonia
Brahms String Quintet in F
Mahler (arr. Farrington) Das Lied von der Erde
Brahms’ first string quintet shows his love of baroque music in a subtle integration of baroque dance movements he had originally written for the piano, while Mahler’s unusual ‘song-symphony’ is based on a set of transcendent Chinese poems. RNS will again be performing a chamber reduction perfectly suited to fill Sage Two.
