Haydn expert Giovanni Antonini conducts Haydn's final symphony

When Joseph Haydn arrived in London in the 1790s, he was received like a rock star, and there was thunderous applause at his farewell concert, which featured his final symphony. At this concert, you'll also hear the Mozart serenade that made Salieri hear "the voice of God" in the film Amadeus, and an overture by the almost forgotten German-Swedish composer Joseph Martin Kraus, whom Haydn called a genius.

Five instruments, four mythical creatures. In Isang Yun's Images, the tortoise, dragon, phoenix and tiger merge in ever-shifting timbres, while Arthur Bliss's Conversations lets the instruments converse with one another in a humorous fashion. This chamber concert is framed by two quintets by Johann Christian Bach.

Oslo Philharmonic Chamber Series George Crumb
Franz Schubert

Oslo Philharmonic Chamber Series: Black Angels

In 1970, George Crumb wrote a string quartet in which helicopter rotors over Vietnam meet Schubert's Death and the Maiden. In "In tempore belli", Latin for "in times of war", terrifying insect sounds are suddenly interrupted by the melody from Death and the Maiden. At this chamber concert, you will also hear Schubert's Death and the Maiden itself, in a programme that explores the contrast between life and death, and between the beautiful and the vulgar.
