T1457028137This final concert opens with Beethoven's depiction of the conflict between bravado and tenderness, a classic of his middle period compositional style. Dohnányi was an almost exact contemporary of Bartok but their musical styles are very different. Here, instead of one of his more familiar piano works, the orchestra performs his passionate and melodic Konzertstücke for cello, marking a welcome return visit for soloist Thomas Carroll. Finally, Brahms's second symphony - moving from its quiet and soulful opening movements to its cheerful, lyrical finale - lends a spring-like air of optimism to the conclusion of this closing concert.Conductor Barry Wordsworth.

T01330819958Brahms's youthfully bumptious and celebratory Academic Festival Overture opens this concert. It closes with Mahler's Fourth Symphony, the shortest, smallest and arguably most popular of his symphonic works. Its finale - the soprano setting of the Wunderhorn song Das himmlische Leben - reflects a child's vision of heaven and was originally meant to round off the last movement of Mahler's Third Symphony. Sponsored in memory of the late Raymond Gooch.Conductor Barry Wordsworth. Performer Matthew Trusler (violin). Performer Elizabeth Atherton (soprano). | |

T723033543After last season's unashamedly romantic Valentine's Day concert, this year the BPO examines the slightly darker aspects of love in the tribulations of Mozart's Magic Flute and the trials of the Schumann/Wieck love story echoed in the Rhenish symphony. Love, they say comes in all forms and Beethoven's third piano concerto stems from the period of his life in which his political allegiances bordered on love for a consul - Napoleon Bonaparte!Conductor Barry Wordsworth.

T438404848Mysticism, kings and kingsmanship underpin this all-English programme. The Old Testament drama of the Babylonian king and his fated downfall found its most powerful expression in Walton's monumental Belshazzar's Feast, commissioned for the 1931 Leeds Festival and notable for its huge orchestration. His Crown Imperial was written for the Coronation of George VI in the immediate aftermath of the abdication crisis. Vaughan Williams' Five Mystical Songs sets four poems by George Herbert from his 1633 collection The Temple: Sacred Poems. Featured soloist Njabulo Madlala is winner of the Kathleen Ferrier Award in 2010.Conductor Barry Wordsworth. Performer Njabulo Madlala (baritone). Company Brighton Festival Chorus. | |

T0323030945On 22 December 1808, Beethoven gave the premieres of his fifth and sixth symphonies in a now legendary gala concert that included his fourth piano concerto, movements from his Mass in C, his Choral Fantasia for piano, orchestra and chorus, and the concert scene and aria 'Ah! perfido'. It lasted over four hours! This edited version is slightly shorter, but will prove no less enjoyable.Conductor Barry Wordsworth. Performer Elizabeth Atherton (soprano). | |
