The BBC Philharmonic and its Principal Guest Conductor Ben Gernon pair Beethovens majestic final piano concerto for which we welcome back Paul Lewis, who played all five Beethoven piano concertos in the 2010 season with Brahmss sunny Second Symphony, whose lyrical, pastoral spirit harks back to the earlier composers own Pastoral Symphony (No. 6).
The concert opens in a more sombre, contemplative mood with the world premiere of Tansy Daviess What Did We See? a meditation on death, healing and transcendence that builds on material from the composers recent 9/11-inspired opera Between Worlds. |
