Schubert & Strauss | The TSO at Melbourne Recital Centre
What is it about Ninth Symphonies? Frequently the culminating point of a composer’s symphonic output, they sum up the past and foreshadow the future. They expose the full breadth of a composer’s imagination and exhibit a lifetime’s worth of experiences. Schubert’s Symphony No 9 is all of these things and more. Grand, poetic and poignant, it is Schubert’s last symphony and the finest of them all. With good reason is it known as the “Great”. Few composers wrote as eloquently for the soprano voice as Richard Strauss. Strauss’s sopranos scale the heights and plumb the depths in their quest to touch the human heart. Be moved by celebrated soprano Siobhan Stagg.

Lovely performance, we enjoyed every moment.
A lovely, controlled performance of Strauss, Orchestral Songs, by Siobhan Stagg, followed by a spirited orchestral rendering of Shubert's, 9th Symphonies, in a lovely venue makes for a very pleasant evening.
TSO excellent performance
Always a delight to see a full orchestra go some classics and the TSO impressed! Really enjoyable performance.
An absolutely delightful performance by the TSO. Siobhan Stagg’s beautiful & clear soprano voice truly did justice to Strauss’s orchestral songs. The night ended on a high with Schubert’s spectacular Symphony No 9. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole performance.

What a wonderful concert at the Recital Centre! Siobhan Stagg is an excellent young singer and the TSO's rendition of Schubert's 9th Symphony was outstanding.
Thankyou for the chance to see and hear Siobhan Stagg again, singing glorious Strauss songs with the Tassie Orchestra. The Mills piece referencing Schubert and the Schumann Symphony were also excellent.
