Vienna Philharmonic, Philippe Jordan

Jan 11–15, 2024
Bösendorferstraße 12, 1010 Wien, Austria

Salt-water music. Philippe Jordan’s sailors’ special with the peerless Vienna Philharmonic cues up Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage, Chausson’s Poème de l’Amour et de la Mer (with soprano Nicole Car), Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes, and Debussy’s symphonic triptych La Mer. After four performances at the Golden Hall of the Musikverein, there’s a runout finale at the nearby Wiener Konzerthaus. —Matthew Gurewitsch
