| Performance Notes | A composers music should express his love affairs, his religion, the books that have influenced him, the pictures he loves. So said Rachmaninov, whose Third Symphony does just that through irrepressible yearning and longing. It forms the culmination of this Prom in which the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and its Russian Chief Conductor perform Shostakovichs disquieting First Cello Concerto. A brand-new work by Liverpool-born composer Emily Howard opens.
BBC commission and world premiere of 'Torus', Emily Howard, inspired by wave-particle duality.
Truls Mørk was replaced by 25 year old Alexey Stadler, the cellist flew in from Berlin and arrived from the airport just in time for rehearsal!
"Alexey Stadler played with firm control andthe kind of tactile, honeyed tone capable of bringing listeners to their knees. ...After th einterval, punch and glitter leapt back for Rachmaninov's Third Symphony: a work stnigy with big tunes, but Petrenko and his players still made it a carnival of orchestral delights."
