“Mandeal is tall and elegant, his movements are graceful, conveying a fluidity and
immediacy with the players.”
– The Independent
Romanian conductor Cristian Mandeal conducts the WSO in this program of
Mozart and Richard Strauss.
WSO principal oboist Bede Hanley performs Strauss’ Oboe Concerto, written
during the last years of Strauss’ life. Bede, a native of Saskatoon, came to the
WSO in 2009 after having been the principal oboist of the Auckland
Philharmonic.
Profoundly spiritual, brilliantly constructed and memorably themed, Mozart’s
40 th Symphony is unlike anything he ever wrote.
