Maestro split: Rattle and Harding to share a concert

Maestro split: Rattle and Harding to share a concert

The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra have inserted an unusual programme a month from now.

In the first half of the concert, outgoing music director Daniel Harding conducts works by two women composers, Lili Boulanger and Valborg Aulin.

In the second half, marked ‘bonus!’, Sir Simon Rattle conducts Sibelius’s fifth symphony.

Harding sounds excited: ‘For the best part of the last twenty years I have been telling Simon what a jewel of an orchestra we have at the Swedish Radio.

‘No orchestra has meant more to me than SRSO, and no conductor more than Simon. That, in my last season as Music Director, I get to enjoy a musical encounter between them will be a moment of pure joy.’
