The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

Date & Time
Mon, Mar 17, 2025, 19:30
Robin Ticciati presents Mahler’s blockbuster journey from darkness to light. A trumpet sounds a fanfare, the orchestra cries out, and Mahler’s Fifth Symphony judders into life. But a symphony, said Mahler, must be like the world; and 70 minutes later the whole orchestra is storming the heavens in triumph. It’s a blockbuster journey from darkness to light, told in funeral marches, Viennese waltzes and of course, music’s sweetest love-letter – the rapturous Adagietto. But Robert Schumann knew a thing or... Read full text

NOSPR / Berglund / In the Hall of the Mountain King

Sun, Jun 15, 2025, 12:00
Narodowej Orkiestry Symfonicznej Polskiego Radia, Concert Hall (Katowice)
Tabita Berglund (Conductor), NOSPR
With song, he delved into the abyss, To the bottom of the world’s beginning– Kalevala, ed. Elias Lönnrot Edvard Grieg and Jean Sibelius are not only prominent representatives of late Romanticism, but also captivating storytellers and guides among the myths and tales of the Northern nations. In their works, legends emerging from the darkness of the past are painted with vivid colours and become filled with a modern emotionality. Slightly older of the two, Edvard Grieg, born to a family of Scottish descent in the Norwegian town of Bergen, studied in Germany and maintained contacts with numerous Danish artists. His Suite in Olden Style “From Holberg’s Time” is also one of Danish origin – the piece was commissioned to celebrate Ludvig Holberg’s, a writer dubbed “Molier of the North”, birth anniversary. The work balances between free stylistic inspiration and a tribute to Baroque forms. Nevertheless, in music written to scenes from Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt, the wigged key yields to distinct emotions enchanted in the music.The first of two suites contains some of the most suggestive themes in Romanticism, with which Grieg awakens mountain monsters, trolls and kobolds within the orchestra (In the Hall of the Mountain King) and evokes Arabic and African motives, very popular at the time. (Anitra’s Dance, Morning). The Lemminkäinen Suite is a piece inspired by the Kalevala, a Finnish epic built from a compilation of folk songs of the North. Thanks to Sibelius’ imagination, the fantastical, dense and gripping poetic narrative is transformed into a nearly impressionist fresco, the death of a mythical trifler becoming just as moving as the dramatic fates of characters in Thomas Mann’s novels.Krzysztof SiwońConcert duration: approximately 70 minutes

Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham

Tue, Jan 28, 2025, 19:00
Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham
Karina Canellakis (Conductor), Benjamin Grosvenor (Piano)
The London Philharmonic Orchestra perform at Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall.LPO Principal Guest Conductor, Karina Canellakis, begins her first visit to Nottingham in this role with Sibelius’s En Saga. Although he described it as the ‘expression of a state of mind’ rather than a mythical adventure, there’s no shortage of action in this powerful ‘psycho-drama’. There’s an altogether more serene mood in Mozart’s most popular Piano Concerto, particularly in the ethereal central movement which gained the nickname, the ‘dream andante.’ It’s performed here by the exceptional British pianist, Benjamin Grosvenor, a perfect match for Mozart’s light-touch lyricism.Bringing the concert to an emphatic close is Tchaikovsky’s fiery Fourth Symphony. Emerging from the wreckage of his short-lived marriage, it bares its soul in a maelstrom of emotions, opening up with an arresting fanfare signalling the malign forces of fate. But there’s also heartfelt poignancy and some delightfully deft play between the separate sections of the orchestra before it all ends exuberantly with a whirling folk dance finale.

But Robert Schumann knew a thing or two about love, too, and Glyndebourne Music Director Robin Ticciati is joined by pianist Francesco Piemontesi in Schumann’s heartfelt Piano Concerto – music in which these two artists share a very special rapport.

LPO at Saffron Hall

Sun, Apr 6, 2025, 15:30
Saffron Walden
Vladimir Jurowski (Conductor), Vilde Frang (Violin)
Not for nothing is Schubert’s expansive final symphony known as ‘The Great’ – it is music of broad vistas, lofty ambition, but also a sparkling vivacity and seamlessly stitched, intricate detail.LPO Conductor Emeritus Vladamir Jurowski brings a depth of insight and imagination to this totemic work, and to the arresting drama of Beethoven’s work. He and violinist Vilde Frang are a perfectly attuned pairing to bring out the poetry and eloquence of Schumann’s concerto. Frang is making waves. A deeply expressive communicator with a luminous sound, and astonishing technical facility, she is an ever-thoughtful interpreter.
