Three intensely powerful works make up this stunning programme directed by guest conductor, Peter Stark. Rachmaninov, moved by Arnold B?cklin's painting Isle of the Dead, responded with this evocative tone poem. Samuel Barber's soulful, intense middle movement of his concerto is a 20th century classic. Soloist David Greed, leader of Opera North, explores its musical boundaries. Whilst the iconic puppet imagery in Stravinsky's savage ballet music, Petrushka, is guaranteed to send shivers down the spine.
