Wagner and Schumann both lived and worked for many

years in Dresden and this programme celebrates that great

tradition. After Wagner’s grand overture, Schumann’s

concerto is a piece in which soloist and orchestra

collaborate rather than oppose each other. Its mixture of

delicacy and passion reflects the composer’s own

personality. Brahms’ Fourth Symphony is the fruit of a

lifetime wrestling with the problem of how to write

symphonies after Beethoven, and balance the dramatic and

contemplative sides of his character. The four movements

culminate satisfyingly in a magnificent set of variations on

a theme by Bach.

The season opens with Tchaikovsky’s passionate and tragic

overture. Rachmaninov’s Fourth Piano Concerto combines

beautiful melodies and virtuoso excitement, and is unfairly

overshadowed by the popularity of the composer’s other

works. Rachmaninov’s famous Rhapsody is one of his finest

pieces, twenty-four variations on Paganini’s well-known tune.

Mussorgsky’s strongly characterised suite of musical pictures

is best known in Ravel’s amazing orchestration. The gallery

includes castles, chicks and catacombs, culminating in the

unforgettable grandeur of the Great Gate of Kiev.

Rachel Podger director/violin

An exhilarating sample of the astonishing creativity poured

into the violin concerto for single and multiple instruments

in the early eighteenth century. Vivaldi and Bach may be most

familiar but were by no means the only notable composers

in the field. Pisendel, friend of both Bach and Telemann,

led the Dresden Court Orchestra, then the finest in Europe. His

surviving compositions are few, but of high quality. The concert

ends with Bach’s famous and beautiful Double Concerto.

Music written for or about Napoleon and the Duke of

Wellington marks this special concert. Lesueur’s grand music

for Napoleon’s coronation as Emperor was a great success.

He became head of composition at the Paris Conservatoire,

and numbered both Berlioz and Gounod among his pupils.

Wellington’s Victory was extremely popular in Beethoven’s

lifetime, and like Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture uses well-

known songs to symbolise the armies of the different

countries. There follow two contrasting views of Napoleon.

Berlioz’ choral piece, commemorating the date that

Napoleon died, sets a poem full of regret, while Schoenberg’s

setting of Byron’s powerful poem, written in 1942 when

another tyranny held sway over Europe, pours scorn on the

idea of achieving ambition at the cost of other people’s lives.

The concert ends with Beethoven’s fascinating piece, part

piano concerto, part choral work, which prefigures the finale

of the Ninth Symphony.

boUrnemoUtH SympHony orCHeStraBeethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto begins unprecedentedly

with a soft solo for piano, and the whole first movement

builds up from its repeated four-note pattern. The short slow

movement pits piano and orchestra in stark opposition,

leading to an exhilarating finale. Elgar’s Second Symphony

was dedicated to King Edward VII, but like much of his

music, behind the grandeur of its public face lies a more

thoughtful and uncertain world. Elgar’s complete mastery of

this wide range of emotional expression, and ability to use

his large orchestra, creates a powerful and moving work.

5Liadov’s colourful miniatures are like musical

Fabergé eggs. His ‘fantastic scherzo’ Kikimora vividly

depicts a malevolent character from Russian folklore.

Shostakovich’s is one of the finest twentieth century

violin concertos. Its four movements include a hushed

and poignant nocturne, an imaginative passacaglia –

variations over a repeated bass line – and an unstoppable

finale. Beethoven’s fifth symphony, from the most famous

opening in music, builds through its four movements from

dramatic struggle to a blazing, triumphant conclusion.

Saturday 23 January

pHIlHarmonIa orCHeStraVaughan Williams’ overture is one of his very best short pieces,

beginning by evoking the buzzing of the insects of the title.

Finzi’s delightful concerto is his most well-known orchestral

piece and showcases many sides of the clarinet’s character,

played tonight by the orchestra’s Principal Clarinet. The Sea

Symphony is an epic and imaginative setting of poems by Walt

Whitman, though keeping the traditional four movements of

symphonic form. The musical themes set out in the striking

introduction recur in various forms throughout the work. Its

success established Vaughan Williams as the foremost British

composer of his generation.

ScriabinPiano Concerto

BerliozSymphonie fantastique

Yevgeny Sudbin piano

Alexander Vedernikov

Mussorgsky’s spine-tingling depiction of a witches’

Sabbath is one of his most successful tone poems.

Scriabin’s piano concerto is by turns passionate and

languorous across its three movements, the middle one

of which is a set of variations on a gentle theme. The five

movements of Berlioz’ stunning Symphonie fantastique

embody the visions of a lovesick musician in the grip of

an overdose of opium. The idea of his beloved returns in

various guises through the work, ending in a nightmarish

witches’ sabbath. A profoundly imaginative score, it made

the composer’s reputation all over Europe.

Symphony no. 3 (Rhenish)

Patricia Kopatchinskajaviolin

Marin Alsop

Brahms wrote eight variations and a contrapuntal finale on

a theme which Haydn did use, but which is probably much

older. Schumann’s Violin Concerto is full of the composer’s

personal lyricism and invention. A strong influence on

the later violin concerto of Brahms, its slow movement is

particularly beautiful, and the piece as a whole is unjustly

neglected. The Rhenish Symphony, the last of the four

Schumann wrote, is the finest product from his last great

period of happiness in 1850. Its five grand and lyrical

movements were completed in less than six weeks and the

piece was premiered to great success.

9This great orchestra returns to The Anvil with its Chief

Conductor, who has won great acclaim for his performances

and recordings of Shostakovich symphonies. Rachmaninov’s

Second Piano Concerto was a breakthrough piece after years

of creative block. Its intensely passionate character has made

it a favourite among all his works. Arguments continue to

rage over the true meaning of Shostakovich’s symphony, but

it remains a work of extraordinary emotional and musical

tension, poised on a knife edge between survival and disaster.

BrahmsPiano Concerto no. 1

ElgarEnigma Variations

Nikolai Lugansky piano

Yuri Temirkanov

The dramatic overture to Coriolan begins with power and

confidence, but by the close the music has fragmented into

silence. Brahms’ titanic concerto took many forms, first a

sonata for piano duet, then a symphony, before becoming a

concerto. Written partly during the final years of his mentor

Schumann’s mental breakdown and death, its stormy outer

movements are separated by a slow movement of stillness

and beauty. Elgar’s variations are fond musical descriptions

of close friends, varying from the serious ‘Nimrod’ (his

publisher) to the romantic and delicate C.A.E. (his wife),

concluding with an energetic and confident self-portrait.

Boris Berezovsky piano

Vladimir Ashkenazy

The Isle of the Dead depicts the ghostly ferryman of Greek

mythology rowing the souls of the departed to judgement,

with the motion of the oars vividly captured by the 5/8

metre. Prokofiev’s thrilling second piano concerto contains a

fizzing scherzo, a march-like slow movement, and a helter-

skelter finale, all put together with unforgettable virtuosity.

The three Symphonic Dances were the last orchestral pieces

Rachmaninov completed, and concisely sum up many of his

interests: instrumental colour (the composer uses a saxophone

for the first time), unpredictable shifts in rhythm and harmony,

and Russian church chant.

Sir Simon Rattle

Music written or performed in Vienna in 1880 makes up this

programme. After Brahms’ turbulent overture, an interesting

rarity - the Mahler-like Scherzo from Hans Rott’s Symphony.

An organ pupil of Bruckner, he was described by Mahler as

“the founder of the New Symphony as I see it” but died at just

twenty-five years old. Bruckner called his sixth symphony one

of his boldest works. Its four movements seem to flow from a

single source of inspiration and contain some of the loveliest

music he wrote.

Stephen Johnson, well known from his work on BBC Radio, is

also a composer, and tonight we hear his short suite based on

a character from The Master and Margarita. Prokofiev’s best-

known piano concerto is a highly effective blend of dynamic

pianism and swooning melodies. The busy first movement

is followed by a set of fantastic variations on a march-like

theme, while the spectacular finale builds up enormous

energy. Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony is a richly-scored

masterpiece. The first three movements are all based on the

same falling theme, while the finale is an outburst of fanfares

and celebration, confirming the transition from darkness and

doubt to joyous affirmation.

orCHeStra of tHe age of enlIgHtenmentWind instruments take centre stage in this concert. Mozart’s

Symphony no. 33 was written immediately after the

composer returned from a stay in France and is a delightful

work in the usual four movements, with an effervescent

finale. The special timbres and colours produced by period

instruments are attracting composers to write new music with

their sound in mind, and Michael Gordon’s concerto will be

a fascinating example of this. The second half of the concert

encompasses one of Mozart’s first, and his last, orchestral

works. The Clarinet Concerto is deservedly popular, by turns

serene and joyful.
