Programme

Concert information

In music, there鈥檚 more than one way to tell a story. Quiet piano chords launch Rachmaninov鈥檚 Second Piano Concerto, the perfect symbol for a composer summoning the creative confidence to write the most popular piano concerto of the 20th century. Rimsky-Korsakov is more forthright: instruments actually become characters in his hugely popular Arabian Nights fantasy 鈥 though if anyone can uncover the secrets behind the glitter, it鈥檚 Ilan Volkov. And Edmund Finnis? We can鈥檛 say yet: we simply know that it鈥檚 worth hearing any story that this 鈥渃ompelling鈥 (The Daily Telegraph) young British composer has to tell.

CHANGE OF ARTIST: Vadym Kholodenko replaces Yevgeny Sudbin who is unwell.

Prelude: 2.00pm (free to ticket holders)
Peter Nelson from the University of Edinburgh discusses the featured works.

The concert will be recorded for future broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
