Daniil Trifonov piano Michael Sanderling 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. Michael Sanderling beautiful melodies and virtuoso excitement, and is unfairly Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini Pictures at an Exhibition Andrei Korobeinikov tradition. After Wagner’s grand overture, Schumann’s overture. Rachmaninov’s Fourth Piano Concerto combines overshadowed by the popularity of the composer’s other Mussorgsky arr. Ravel Symphony no. 4 years in Dresden and this programme celebrates that great The season opens with Tchaikovsky’s passionate and tragic Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 4 Brahms Wagner and Schumann both lived and worked for many works. Rachmaninov’s famous Rhapsody is one of his finest Mussorgsky’s strongly characterised suite of musical pictures is best known in Ravel’s amazing orchestration. The gallery Andrei Korobeinikov includes castles, chicks and catacombs, culminating in the unforgettable grandeur of the Great Gate of Kiev. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership piano Raphael Payare Pre-concert talk 6.30pm: Rafael Payare in conversation with David Whelton “With his every appearance the young Russian pianist seems to defy the customary standards of assessment... the listener can’t help being drawn into his world.” Financial Times on Daniil Trifonov “Colourful, agile, sensitive, imaginative in detail...his playing has almost everything one could hope for.” Gramophone on Andrei Korobeinikov Jan Latham Koenig Thursday 19 November Orchestra of the age of enlightenment Bach Violin Concerto in E Vivaldi Concerto for two violins in G minor Op 3 no 2 3 Mark Bebbington Pisendel Violin Concerto in G minor Bach Chaconne from Partita no. 2 Sunday 1 November J-F Lesueur Coronation music for Napoleon (1805) Beethoven Wellington’s Victory flanders Symphony Orchestra 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo Music written for or about Napoleon and the Duke of Wellington marks this special concert. Lesueur’s grand music Berlioz The Fifth of May Schoenberg Ode to Napoleon Beethoven Choral Fantasia Mark Bebbington piano Gavin Carr speaker Bournemouth Symphony Chorus Jan Latham Koenig 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. Vivaldi 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. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association Tickets £23, £19 (includes £1 booking fee) Please note this concert is not available on subscription Violin Concerto Op. 4 no. 2 Telemann Rachel Podger Concerto for four violins Bach Concerto for two violins Kati Debretzeni, Margaret Faultless, Matthew Truscott violins Rachel Podger director/violin Wellington’s Victory was extremely popular in Beethoven’s lifetime, and like Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture uses wellknown 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. “Britain’s finest period violinist.” BBC Music magazine on Rachel Podger x Extra Concert Valeriy Sokolov 4 Kirill Gerstein Vassily Sinaisky 5 Friday 15 January BournEmouth symphony orchestra Friday 27 November bournemouth Symphony Orchestra Beethoven Piano Concerto no. 4 Elgar Beethoven’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 Symphony no. 2 movement pits piano and orchestra in stark opposition, Kirill Gerstein was dedicated to King Edward VII, but like much of his piano Vassily Sinaisky leading to an exhilarating finale. Elgar’s Second Symphony Liadov Kikimora Shostakovich Violin Concerto no. 1 Beethoven Symphony no. 5 Valeriy Sokolov violin Kees Bakels Liadov’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. 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. “The sheer eloquence of his playing is a joy... takes your breath away.” Classic FM on Valeriy Sokolov Saturday 23 January 6 Philharmonia Orchestra John Wilson Vaughan Williams Overture: The Wasps Finzi Clarinet Concerto Vaughan Williams Symphony no. 1 (A Sea Symphony) Mark van de Wiel Vaughan 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. clarinet The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership Sally Matthews soprano Roderick Williams tenor Bristol Choral Society and Gloucester Choral Society John Wilson Pre-concert talk 6.30pm: Mark van de Wiel, Roderick Williams and John Wilson in conversation with David Whelton 8 7 Patricia Kopatchinskaja Yevgeny Sudbin Marin Alsop Alexander Vedernikov Brahms Variations on a theme of Haydn Schumann Violin Concerto Symphony no. 3 (Rhenish) Patricia Kopatchinskaja violin Marin Alsop Thursday 4 February Friday 26 February Orchestra of the age of enlightenment BOURNEMOUTH SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 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. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association “Rush to hear her.” Le Monde de la Musique on Patricia Kopatchinskaja Mussorgsky Night on a Bare Mountain Scriabin 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 Piano Concerto languorous across its three movements, the middle one Berlioz movements of Berlioz’ stunning Symphonie fantastique Symphonie fantastique Yevgeny Sudbin piano Alexander Vedernikov of which is a set of variations on a gentle theme. The five 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. Simon Trpceski ˇ 9 Wednesday 9 March oslo phIlharmonic orchestra Grieg Lyric Suite (excerpts) Rachmaninov Piano Concerto no. 2 Vasily Petrenko Shostakovich Symphony no. 5 ˇ Simon Trpceski piano This 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. Vasily Petrenko “An incandescent performance of real beauty and power.” The Times on Vasily Petrenko x Extra Concert Sunday 13 March – 3pm Philharmonia at the movies Soundtracks from the Oscars Heather Shipp vocals Carl Davis Back by popular demand, Philharmonia at the Movies presents Soundtracks from the Oscars.

This concert is not available on subscription Carl Davis 10 Beethoven Overture: Coriolan Brahms Piano Concerto no. 1 Elgar Saturday 2 April philharmonia orchestra 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 Enigma Variations movements are separated by a slow movement of stillness Nikolai Lugansky and beauty. Elgar’s variations are fond musical descriptions piano Yuri Temirkanov 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. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership “His performance blazes with conviction, a propulsion and energy finely complemented with an innate sense of poetry.” Gramophone on Nikolai Lugansky Vladimir Ashkenazy 11 Rachmaninov The Isle of the Dead Prokofiev Piano Concerto no. 2 Rachmaninov Boris Berezovsky Wednesday 13 April philharmonia ORCHESTRA 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 helterskelter finale, all put together with unforgettable virtuosity. Symphonic Dances The three Symphonic Dances were the last orchestral pieces Boris Berezovsky Rachmaninov completed, and concisely sum up many of his piano Vladimir Ashkenazy interests: instrumental colour (the composer uses a saxophone for the first time), unpredictable shifts in rhythm and harmony, and Russian church chant. The Philharmonia Orchestra is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Partnership “A veritable encyclopaedia of pianism and imaginative invention.” The Times on Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto no. 2 x Extra Concert Sir Simon Rattle Saturday 23 April orchestra of the age of enlightenment VIENNA 1880 Brahms Tragic Overture Rott Scherzo from Symphony in E Bruckner Symphony no. 6 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. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association Tickets £45, £41, £36, £25, £13 (includes £1 booking fee) Please note this concert is not available on subscription x Extra Concert Mozart Symphony no. 33 Michael Gordon Bassoon Concerto (world premiere tour) Mozart Symphony no. 1 Clarinet Concerto Peter Whelan bassoon Antony Pay clarinet Matthew Truscott Thursday 5 May orchestra of the age of enlightenment Wind instruments take centre stage in this concert. Mozart’s Pavel Kogan 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 John Lill 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. The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment is Anvil Arts Orchestra in Association Tickets £23, £19 (includes £1 booking fee) Please note this concert is not available on subscription Peter Whelan 12 Stephen Johnson Suite: Behemoth Dances Prokofiev Piano Concerto no. 3 Rachmaninov Symphony no. 2 John Lill piano Pavel Kogan Sunday 15 May moscow state SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA 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 bestknown 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. x Extra Concert Sibelius Piano pieces from Opp. 41, 74 and 114 Beethoven Piano Sonata op. 31 no. 3 Debussy La soirée dans Grenade Three Etudes Chopin Etude in A flat (from Trois nouvelle études) Thursday 9 June leif ove andsnes recital We are delighted that Leif Ove Andsnes, heard here in memorable concerts with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra and Norwegian Chamber Orchestra, returns for his only recital this year outside London.
