Honegger Pastorale d’été

Ravel Piano Concerto in G

Haydn Symphony No.87 in A major

Andrew Manze conductor

Ravel effortlessly blends together raucous jazz and heart-breaking tenderness in his quicksilver Piano Concerto – and Scotland’s international piano virtuoso Steven Osborne is just the musician to convey the work’s exquisite wit and sparkle.

Elsewhere in conductor Andrew Manze’s concert of poetry and playfulness, Ravel offers a touching tribute to an imagined Spanish princess, Honegger celebrates the beauty of the summertime Alps, and Haydn unleashes sonic glories in the last and most exuberant of his ‘Paris’ symphonies.
