Elgar, Wood, Ravel & Debussy
British first half pairs Elgar's concert overture, inspired by a winter holiday on the Italian Riviera, with the Piano Concerto by Hugh Wood (80 this year), which sees him tapping into the live-wire personality of tonight's soloist, for whom it was written. The all-French second half reflects new light on Debussy's masterly orchestral seascape with two pinnacles of water-inspired piano music, transformed for the symphony orchestra. Finish time approx. 21:15
