Berlioz: Overture ‘King Lear’ Op. 4 
Debussy: Danse sacrée et Danse profane
Harp soloist Elizabeth Scorah
Ravel: ‘Daphnis et Chloé’ Ballet
Our French first concert opens with Berlioz’ mercurial and richly programmatic King Lear. Harpist Elizabeth Scorah features in Debussy’s dreamily evocative Danse sacrée et Danse profane, followed by Ravel’s masterpiece of which he wrote: ‘Sumptuous and subtle, I have created the Greece of my dreams.’
Ireland: A London Overture
Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 30
Soloist Masa Tayama
Bliss: A Colour Symphony
Ireland’s vibrant London Overture is coupled with Rachmaninov’s rhapsodic and virtuosic Third Piano Concerto, starring Masa Tayama. Arthur Bliss’ exuberantly dashing ‘Colour’ symphony - one of the great British masterpieces of the 20th century - spins its magic in the second half.
Schumann: Symphony No. 2, Op. 61
Mahler: Das Lied von der Erde
Soloists Janice Watson and John Upperton
Schumann’s affirmatory Second Symphony precedes Mahler’s orient-inspired masterpiece, in which international artists Janice Watson and John Upperton take us on a journey from heroic energy through autumnal lament to a gloriously existential farewell.
Dukas: ‘La Péri’, Fanfare et Poème dansé
Debussy: Rapsodie pour orchestre et saxophone
Soloist Robert Burton
Brahms: Symphony No. 2, Op. 73
Dukas suggested that his La Péri should evoke ‘translucent, dazzling enamel’ with hints of Persia. Debussy’s Spanish-inspired Rhapsody for saxophone and orchestra is followed by Brahms’ radiantly sunny, transcendently lyrical Second Symphony. See you there!
