Russian State Symphony Orchestra Tchaikovsky Suite: Swan Lake
Prokofiev Violin Concerto no. 1
Rachmaninov Symphony no. 2
Tchaikovsky’s ever-popular ballet suite contains some of his most memorable music. Prokofiev’s wonderful violin concerto, written at the same time as the Classical Symphony, contains some of the most gorgeous and rhapsodic music he ever composed, with the two outer movements divided by a short, spiky scherzo. Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony is a richly scored, full-blooded masterpiece. The four movements move from darkness and Heinz Holliger doubt through a famously beautiful slow movement, to a joyous outburst of celebration in the finale.

London Philharmonic Orchestra Glinka
Overture: Ruslan and Ludmilla
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 2
Dvořàk Symphony no. 8
Glinka’s fizzing, exuberant overture to his opera captures the essence of Pushkin’s magical poem, rooted in Russian fairy tales. Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Concerto was a breakthrough piece after years of creative block. Its passionate and lyrical character has deservedly made it a favourite amongst his works. Dvorak’s Eighth Symphony was written at his house in the depths of rural Bohemia and is full of the spirit of Czech folksong and the countryside. Its four movements move between major and minor before building to an exuberant finale driven by whooping horn calls.

Vienna Tonkünstler Orchestra
Bernstein Overture: On the Town
Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 5 Sibelius Symphony no. 5 Angela Hewitt
The jaunty overture to Bernstein’s hit show which follows three sailors in New York makes a rousing opening to this concert in his centenary year. Beethoven’s last piano concerto is his most brilliant and powerful. The confident outer movements are balanced by an inward-looking slow movement, which moves into the finale with a simple but magical transition. Sibelius’ fifth and most well-known symphony grows from the seed of its tiny opening figure to the most outwardly heroic of his seven works in the form. The final majestic brass theme was inspired by a flight of swans the awe-struck composer saw wheeling over his house in the countryside.

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis
Brahms A German Requiem Elizabeth Watts soprano
James Newby baritone
Vaughan Williams’ visionary contemplation of Tallis’ hymn tune was his first success and movingly connects composers across the centuries. “As for the title, I must admit I should like to leave out the word ‘German’ and instead use ‘Human’”, Brahms once commented. The title was intended to emphasise that Brahms didn’t set the medieval poem. Gone are the usual terrors of Judgement Day, instead the words and music emphasise consolation and comfort for those mourning. It’s one of his greatest works, and its success made the 35-year-old composer’s name all over Europe. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra
Stravinsky Suite: Pulcinella
Walton Cello Concerto
Shostakovich Symphony no. 1 Johannes Moser cello
Stravinsky’s ballet, based on pieces by Pergolesi, was written for the Ballets Russes, and its wit and grace both delighted Diaghilev and brought a new element into the composer’s music. Walton’s late Cello Concerto, which the composer regarded as the best of his concertos, is full of bewitching music. After the lyrical first movement comes a brilliant scherzo. The final movement is a set of variations which passes through a number of moods before melting into a peaceful and magical conclusion. Shostakovich’s dazzling First Symphony was his graduation piece from the St. Petersburg Conservatoire. It reflects the optimism and experimentation of the early 1920s, while showing signs of how the nineteen-year-old composer would develop.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Beethoven Violin Concerto
Strauss Sinfonia domestica Augustin Hadelich violin
Kirill Karabits
Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, written quickly in the middle of an intensely creative period, begins with five strokes of the timpani, and unfolds from this simple beginning into the greatest of all concertos for the instrument. A noble and lyrical work, it set the pattern for the great violin concertos of the nineteenth century. Strauss’ Sinfonia domestica uses his home life – children playing, a quarrel and reconciliation with his wife, dreams and cares at night – as the starting point for a work which overflows with imaginative and exuberant music. Written just before his operatic career exploded with the scandalous success of Salome, it’s tended to be unfairly overshadowed, but is well worth hearing.

Philharmonia Orchestra Sibelius Finlandia
Ravel Piano Concerto in G
Sibelius
Valse triste Symphony no. 1 Alice Sara Ott piano Santtu-Matias Rouvali
Finlandia, part of a suite which Sibelius wrote for a pageant in 1900, is a concentrated burst of patriotic feeling. Ravel said that his piano concerto was “written in the same spirit as those of Mozart and Saint-Saëns” with two vivacious outer sections framing a slow movement of still and crystalline beauty. The first of Sibelius’ great cycle of symphonies is a noble and powerful piece from the late 1890s. While influenced by Tchaikovsky, it shows many signs of the composer he was to become.

St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra Mussorgsky Dawn on the Moscow River
Shostakovich Violin Concerto no. 1
Tchaikovsky Symphony no. 5 Sergei Dogadin violin
Yuri Temirkanov
The peaceful and evocative prelude to Mussorgsky’s opera Khovanshchina belies the powerful drama in the opera that follows. Shostakovich’s is one of the finest twentieth century violin concertos. Its four movements include a hushed and poignant nocturne, an imaginative passacaglia – variations over a repeated bass line – and an unstoppable finale. Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony was composed on his return to Russia in 1888 after a successful European concert tour. The waltz feel of much of the first movement foreshadows the waltz which takes the place of the usual scherzo. The slow movement is pure melody, while the finale is a burst of power and orchestral colour.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Ravel Suite: Mother Goose
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 1
Stravinsky Petrushka (1911, complete) Alexander Gavrylyuk violin
Ion Marin
Ravel’s delicate and touching evocation of fairy-tales opens this concert. Rachmaninov’s concerto is an attractive, rhapsodic work, full of youthful vigour, which shows why Tchaikovsky regarded him so highly. The composer revised and improved it in later life without sacrificing its essential freshness. Stravinsky’s imaginative recreation of an old Russian Easter Fair is the backdrop for the tale of the puppet Petrushka, who falls in love with the beautiful Ballerina, with disastrous consequences.
10 Schumann Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra Symphony no. 4
Brahms Piano Concerto no. 1 Sir András Schiff conductor/piano
Wednesday 20 March
Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Schumann’s Konzertstück was written to show off the virtuoso possibilities of the then new valve horn. Its three movements showcase the character of the instrument, with heroic drama in the first, a singing slow movement, and an exuberant finale sure to bring the house down. Schumann’s symphony was begun in the flood of works prompted by his marriage, and it contains some of his most inspired music in any form. Brahms’ titanic concerto took many forms, first a sonata for piano duet, then a symphony, before becoming a concerto. Its stormy first movement is followed by a rich slow movement of quiet beauty. The finale is a defiant rondo of great energy which eventually turns to the major mode for a triumphant close. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association

Brahms Violin Concerto
Shostakovich Symphony no. 5 Alina Pogostkina violin
Brahms’ violin concerto is built on a symphonic scale, to the point where the original version had the four movements traditional for that form. Brahms replaced the middle two with one of his most beautiful adagios, and the finale is a vigorous Hungarian dance. Arguments continue to rage over the true meaning of Shostakovich’s most performed and recorded symphony, but it remains a work of extraordinary emotional and musical tension, poised on a knife edge between survival and disaster.

12 Beethoven Symphony no. 6
Berlioz Symphonie fantastique Herbert Blomstedt
Wednesday 10 April
Philharmonia Orchestra The impulse behind the Pastoral symphony was Beethoven’s own love of the Austrian countryside. The five movements encompass the joys of solitary contemplation and a peasants’ celebration, a summer thunderstorm, and a final hymn of thanksgiving. Berlioz’ stunning Symphonie fantastique embodies the visions of a lovesick musician in the grip of an overdose of opium. The idea of his beloved returns in various guises through the work, ending in a nightmarish witches’ sabbath. A profoundly imaginative score, it made the composer’s reputation all over Europe. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership
“Some orchestral conductors get more and more compelling with age. Herbert Blomstedt is perhaps the prime example of this phenomenon in the current era.” The Guardian

Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla
Friday 10 May
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra Ligeti’s early piece develops Romanian folk tunes rather in the manner of Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsodies, fashioning alternately soulful and lively sections from their rich vein of melody. Prokofiev said that his fifth and last piano concerto ‘had enough melodies to make three concertos’. Its five movements are packed with rhythmic vitality and unpredictable beauty. The heartfelt slow movement is particularly memorable. Brahms’ radiant Second Symphony was written while on holiday in the summer of 1877 and is predominantly warm, lyrical and tender, before an explosion of joy in the finale.

Philharmonia Orchestra THE ANVIL 25TH BIRTHDAY GALA
Come and celebrate with us, as we mark the 25th anniversary of the opening of The Anvil with the first visit from one of the brightest new stars of the music world. Elgar’s Cello Concerto vies with Dvořàk’s as the best ever written for the instrument, with the composer’s heartfelt lyricism to the fore. The drama of the opening movement is followed by a nimble scherzo, and a slow movement of elegiac beauty. The powerful finale is memorably interrupted by a haunting reminiscence of the slow movement before rushing to its close. Elgar’s variations are fond musical descriptions of close friends, varying from the serious ‘Nimrod’ (his publisher) to the romantic and delicate C.A.E. (his wife), concluding with an energetic and confident self-portrait. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership

Grieg Peer Gynt: Suite no. 1
Goodyear Callaloo – Caribbean Suite for piano and orchestra
Dvořák Symphony no. 7 Stewart Goodyear piano
Wayne Marshall
The perennial freshness of Grieg’s music to Peer Gynt never fails to make an impact. Stewart Goodyear’s Callaloo is a tour de force for piano and orchestra which, with its jazz rhythms and colourful orchestration, has an immediate appeal. The concert ends with Dvořàk’s most powerful and dramatic symphony, first conducted in London by the composer himself to scenes of overwhelming enthusiasm. While influenced by the German tradition, it retains Dvořàk’s own winning brand of melody. Chineke! Orchestra is Europe’s first orchestra to feature a majority of black and minority ethnic musicians. It has performed throughout the UK and abroad to great acclaim and continues to fulfil its mission to champion change and celebrate diversity in classical music.
