Isabelle Faust & Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra

Featuring a brand new Violin Concerto from composer Philippe Manoury

‘What Isabelle Faust did with those all-too-familiar notes borders on the incredible. (…) it was as if you were hearing a violin for the very first time’ – Dagblad Trouw on Isabelle Faust.
But we will no doubt be equally mesmerised by Isabelle’s interpretation of the new notes written for her by French composer Philippe Manoury!

Few symphonies are as beloved as Mahler’s First, but its premiere, the music was met with derision by a conservative audience; today, we can only laugh at such a lack of understanding. But how many new sounds are we, ourselves, prepared to embrace? It is time to refresh our ears with a Mahler for our own era: welcome to the world of Philippe Manoury.
