Spring with Sir Mark Elder 🌼
“…a sheer delight from beginning to end” - Bachtrack
Last night @the_halle welcomed back longstanding friend and Conductor Emeritus Sir Mark Elder for a glorious springtide programme of Russian works.
Joining forces with the magnificent @hallechoir and Lithiuanian bass-baritone @kostassmoriginas , the orchestra performed Rachmaninov’s radiant Spring Cantata alongside Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 2 ‘Little Russian’, Stravinksy’s Song of the Nightingale and Glinka’s overture to Ruslan and Ludmilla.
