Baritone singer Ólafur Kjartan Sigurðarson has received wide praise in recent years and has become a regular on the world's most renowned opera stages. At this concert, he will sing the magnificent Lyric Symphony by Alexander Zemlinsky, with soprano Bryndís Guðjónsdóttir. This is the first time this late-Romantic work will be performed in Iceland. The composer wrote it under the strong influence of Mahler, and it deals with regret and longing in an original and touching way.
Musicologists disagree on why Franz Schubert did not fully complete his Symphony No 8, of which he only completed two movements out of four. Despite that, the symphony leaves no one untouched with its unforgettable melodies. The world-renowned conductor, Ingo Metzmacher, holds the baton for the first time with the orchestra.
