MS11 - Virtuoso (ASO featuring Tubular Bells) September 14, 2006

In a coup for the ASO, we welcome the great virtuoso Marc-André Hamelin for his Australian debut appearance, performing Brahms’ radiant 2nd Piano Concerto. This program also features a surprise: Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells, Part One. In the orchestration made by Oldfi eld’s friend David Bedford at the time of the album’s original
release, it captures all this wonderful work’s infectious and copious tunefulness. The program opens with Mozart’s Paris Symphony, full of light, life and virtuosic
invention.
