orchestral virtuosity that dazzles
and amazes at every turn.
BEETHOVEN
Symphony No. 6 Pastoral
Masterpieces by two towering

figures of the mid 19th century
adorn this programme. Making his
MPO debut in Schumanns Piano
Concerto is French pianist David
Fray whose playing has been
described by critics as exquisite,
imaginative, and virtuosic.
Bruckners best-known symphony,
the Fourth, inhabits a sound world
of celestial majesty, vast time
scale, far-flung sonic splendour, a
leisurely pace, awesome silences
and engaging themes of great
breadth.
Internationally acclaimed
baritone Matthias Goerne sings
Gustav Mahlers intimate, deeply
personal songs from Des Knaben
Wunderhorn (The Youths Magic
Horn). Mahlers Symphony No. 1
Titan at once mystical, playful,
earthy and transcendent offers
an exhilarating journey into the
human experience and a heroic
conclusion to the concert.

Winner of the Queen Elisabeth

Competitions (2008), Ray Chen
is among the most compelling

Violin Concerto, music of sublime
beauty and regarded as one
of the greatest in the repertory.

Overture and to close, one of his

BERLIOZ
Symphonie fantastique
For grandeur, majesty and sheer

tonal opulence, few symphonies can
stand beside Saint-Sans Third.
The prominent role provided by the
organ, the King of Instruments,
provides an additional measure
of imposing sonority. Regarded
as one of the great French
symphonies, it also boasts a good
measure of charm, elegance
and consummate craftsmanship.
Debussys sensuous tone poem
about the amorous musing of
a woodland creature (a faun)
and Poulencs witty Sinfonietta
complete the programme.
MENDELSSOHN
Symphony No. 4
Berliozs Symphonie fantastique

is truly fantastic, not only for the
fantasy world it depicts but for the
composers use of the orchestra
as a giant virtuoso instrument for
the conductor to play upon. This
endlessly fascinating symphony
is filled to the brim with myriad
orchestral effects and tonal
colours, making it one of the most
popular works in the repertory.
Orchestral mastery is evident also
in excerpts from Wagners final
opera, Parsifal, music of mystery
and magic that transports the
listener to another dimension.
RM150 RM120 RM90 RM60
Roberto Abbados programme

opens with Berliozs dazzling
portrayal of Roman festivities
and closes with Mendelssohns
beloved Italian Symphony.
In between, we hear a violin
concerto by one of Italys bestknown composers, Nicol Paganini,
whose music for violin is known
for its technical wizardry and
virtuosic flair. Luigi Boccherini too
was Italian but spent much of his
career in Spain, where he received
inspiration for his Night Music of
the Streets of Madrid.

many believe that this hero was
actually Strauss himself! In any
case, Ein Heldenleben is replete
with opulent sounds, glowing
orchestration, huge climaxes,
enormous energy and a veritable
kaleidoscope of tonal colours
music orchestras love to play,
conductors love to conduct, and
audiences love to hear. One of
Haydns most beloved symphonies

hyperemotional and passionate,

in many ways reflecting the life of

Petrushka, another audience
favourite, is a wildly colourful ballet
score filled with picturesque details
some riotously flamboyant, some
exquisitely beautiful depicting a
puppet show at a carnival scene
in a 19th century Russian village.
Fairytale music by Ravel opens the
programme.
RM200 RM160 RM130 RM100

The MPYO presents two of the

one for winds and one for strings.
Dvoks Serenade is one of his
sunniest, most enjoyable compositions.
Tchaikovskys Serenade for Strings

at times imitates the style of his
favourite composer. A bold and
brassy fanfare by Dukas opens
the programme.
Music by Dmitri Shostakovich

opens and closes this concert by
the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth
Orchestra. The composers Fifth
Symphony is the featured work.
It is not only the most popular of
Shostakovichs fifteen symphonies
but one of the most popular
symphonies of the entire twentieth
century. The same composers
impressive Festive Overture opens
the concert, followed by a lovely
musical landscape of the Bohemian
countryside, Smetanas Moldau.

DEWAN FILHARMONIK PETRONAS
Dewan Filharmonik PETRONAS (DFP) is home to the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO) and
is Malaysias first concert hall dedicated to classical music. Located at the PETRONAS Twin Towers, it
was officially opened on 17 August 1998 by the patron of the MPO, Tun Dr. Siti Hasmah Haji Mohd Ali
and former Prime Minister, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad.
Designed by Cesar Pelli, the hall takes its inspiration from the traditional shoe-box shape of the great
19th century European concert halls with the magnificent Klais Pipe Organ providing a spectacular
backdrop to the halls stage.
The hall contains 920 seats, including box seats, corporate suites and a royal suite. Acoustics
experts Kirkegaard and Associates have incorporated unique acoustical devices into its design to
maximize the halls natural qualities.
Celebrating its 18th anniversary in 2016, DFP plays an integral part in the music and cultural
landscape of Malaysia and the city of Kuala Lumpur. It continues to enthrall listeners as it has done
since the day it first opened its doors. In addition to stimulating and enriching concerts by the MPO,
world renowned orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, Philadelphia Orchestra, BBC
Symphony and Vienna Symphony have performed in this hall.
Beyond classical music, DFP has hosted prominent ensembles of other music genres such as the
Count Basie Orchestra, Yellowjackets, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Mezzoforte, Pink Martini and
Gotan Project. International stars that have graced the stage include Harry Connick Jr., Anoushka
Shankar, Laura Fygi, Zakir Hussain, Larry Carlton and Diana Krall.
Renowned Malaysian artists including SM Salim, Sheila Majid, M Nasir, Siti Nurhaliza, Jamal
Abdillah, Ramli Ibrahim, Khadijah Ibrahim, Ella, Yuna, Aizat, Hafiz, Najwa and Dayang Nurfaizah
have mesmerised audiences at DFP.
Concerts by talented young Malaysians from the Malaysian Philharmonic Youth Orchestra (MPYO)
continue to be hosted at this venue.
DFPs success is also attributed to its exceptional architectural design, superior acoustics and
recording studio modelled after the legendary Abbey Road Studios.

MALAYSIAN
PHILHARMONIC
ORCHESTRA
The Malaysian Philharmonic
Orchestra (MPO) gave its inaugural
performance at Dewan Filharmonik
PETRONAS (DFP) on 17 August
1998. The MPO today comprises
musicians from 24 countries, including
7 from Malaysia, a remarkable
example of harmony among different
cultures and nationalities.
A host of internationally-acclaimed
musicians has worked with the MPO,
including Lorin Maazel, Sir Neville
Marriner, Yehudi Menuhin, Joshua
Bell, Harry Connick Jr., Jos Carreras,
Andrea Bocelli and Branford Marsalis,
many of whom have praised the MPO
for its fine musical qualities and vitality.
With each new season, the MPO
continues to present a varied
programme of orchestral music drawn
from over three centuries, as well as
the crowd-pleasing concert series.
Its versatility transcends genres,
from classical masterpieces to film
music, pop, jazz, contemporary and
commissioned works.
The MPO regularly performs at major
cities of Malaysia. Internationally,
it has showcased its virtuosity to
audiences in Singapore (1999, 2001
and 2005), Korea (2001), Australia
(2004), China (2006), Taiwan

(2007), Japan (2001 and 2009) and
Vietnam (2013). Its Education and
Outreach Programme, ENCOUNTER,
reaches beyond the concert platform
to develop musical awareness,
appreciation and skills through
dedicated activities that include
instrumental lessons, workshops
and school concerts. ENCOUNTER
also presents memorable events in
such diverse venues as orphanages,
hospitals, rehabilitation centres and
community centres.
The MPOs commitment to furthering
musical interest in the nation has
been the creation of the Malaysian
Philharmonic Youth Orchestra
(MPYO). It gave its inaugural concert
at DFP on 25 August 2007, followed
by a tour in Peninsular Malaysia.
It has performed in Sabah and
Sarawak (2008), Singapore (2009)
and Brisbane, Australia (2012).
As it celebrates its 18th anniversary in
2016, the MPO remains steadfast in
its mission to share the depth, power
and beauty of great music.
The MPOs main benefactor is
PETRONAS and its patron is Tun Dr.
Siti Hasmah Haji Mohd Ali.
