The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra takes a trip to the Mediterranean in this Spanish-influenced programme. Bizet's Carmen Suite takes its inspiration from Seville's gypsy and toreador life; likewise Faur?'s Pavane and Ravel's Bol?ro are based on Spanish dance rhythms. The concert features two guitar concertos. Rogrigo's wonderfully popular and quintessentially Spanish sounding Concierto d'Aranjuez and a world premi?re of Stephen Goss' brand new Guitar Concerto for Northampton-based soloist Graham Roberts. Stephen Goss' influences are of an eclectic nature, which range from Beethoven's late piano music to the films of former Python Terry Gilliam. The result is a brilliantly integrated musical language and a concerto whose outer movements fizz with rhythmic vitality and breathless virtuosity. Derngate
