Soloist Rustam Khanmurzin
Debussy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune
Dvořák Symphony No. 5
An evening of wonderfully varied textures, with Berlioz’s effervescent Béatrice et Bénédict balanced by Rachmaninov’s jazz-influenced Fourth Piano Concerto and Debussy’s languorous Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune. Dvořák’s tuneful Fifth Symphony forms the finale.

Rawsthorne Street Corner Overture
Walton Violin Concerto
Soloist Ryo Koyama
Tchaikovsky Symphony 5
The ‘victory through strife’ of Tchaikovsky’s iconic Fifth is probably the stand-out here, but Rawsthorne’s characterful Street Corner Overture opens the show, with Walton’s most luscious concerto (for violin) in the middle.

Bizet L’Arlésienne
(Suite 1 complete, Suite 2 movements 1, 4)
Debussy Jeux
Franck Symphonie in D minor
Bizet’s L’Arlésienne Suites are a crowd- pleasing mix of Gallic charm, Provençal folksong and hits from The Pearl Fishers. This is followed by Debussy’s fleet-footed, subtle and alluring Jeux, and by Franck’s poignant and ultimately triumphant D Minor Symphony.

Haydn Symphony 85 La Reine
Wagner Götterdämmerung
Dawn and Siegfried’s Rhine Journey, Siegfried’s Funeral, Immolation Scene
Soloist Zoe South
A stormy sea-voyage from Riga to London inspired Wagner’s glorious Flying Dutchman Overture. Haydn’s elegant Symphony 85 ‘La Reine’ – Marie Antoinette’s favourite – intervenes before excerpts from his immortal Götterdämmerung where, as Wagner wrote, ‘imagination creates reality.’
