Set List | 'Vertigo Suite', Herrmann 'Violin Concerto', Korngold (Vadim Gluzman) INTERVAL 'Symphony No.3 in C Minor', Prokofiev ENCORE V Silvestrov |
Performance Notes | Cinematic drama stalks through a concert that opens with Bernard Herrmanns suite from his score for Alfred Hitchcocks Vertigo and closes with Prokofievs Third Symphony, a work heavy with bells, cymbals, sinister dances and flashes of bright musical moonlight.
Meanwhile, piano superstar Daniil Trifonov is the soloist in the UK premiere of Grammy Award-winner Mason Batess Piano Concerto. A musical journey through time, the work opens with Renaissance clarity of texture, moving through a richly Romantic slow movement to a sleek finale where jazz meets Minimalism. Spanish conductor Gustavo Gimeno leads the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
The event was broadcast on BBC Radio 3. |
