T1255168462We are very pleased to welcome back the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra under their music director Jacek Kaspszyk. The distinguished Russian pianist, Mikhail Rudy joins the orchestra in a programme that includes Elgar’s In The South and Chopin’s romantic First Piano Concerto. Elgar’s In The South was inspired by his admiration for Richard Strauss and echoes the German composer’s love of sumptuous orchestral textures. Chopin’s First Piano Concerto will be familiar to many of our regular Concert Series attenders, but in fact is not often performed. We are very fortunate to have Mikhail Rudy to play one of Chopin’s rare works for piano and orchestra. In the second half the orchestra will play Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony, which expresses the composer’s great melodic gift and his extraordinary talent for rich orchestration. This heartfelt, passionate symphony is now regarded by many as the culmination of the great romantic Russian symphonic tradition of the Nineteenth Century, before the works of Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich transformed Russian music into something altogether different.Conductor Jacek Kaspszyk.

T0796908265Polish composer Andrzej Panufnik settled in the UK in the 1950s, and was musical director of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra for a few years. He described his Nocturne as “a kind of night vision, as in a dream”. Bruch’s Violin Concerto no 1 is by far his most popular work, as the composer himself reluctantly conceded. It is played by one of the finest British violinists of her generation. Beethoven’s 7th Symphony is one of his most dynamic scores - a virtually unstoppable whirlwind of energy.Conductor Jacek Kaspszyk. Performer Priya Mitchell (violin). | |
