Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra / Kent Nagano
Schubert: Symphony No. 7 / Mozart: Great Mass in C minor – feat. Chor der KlangVerwaltung, Katharina Konradi, Ida Aldrian, Seungwoo Simon Yang and Jóhann Kristinsson
Masterpieces don’t necessarily have to be finished. »Why add anything to the magnificent torso? Even Michelangelo did not dare to add a head and legs to his Belvedere Torso,« said the Mozart researcher Alfred Einstein, pondering on his fascination for the unfinished in art. This concert programme performed by the Hamburg Philharmonic State Orchestra and Kent Nagano demonstrates with two works how equally fascinating the unfinished can be in music too.
