The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra continues its journey from East to West with its new Principal conductor Kirill Karabits, who brings some of the great works of the German romantic repertoire as well as the music of his fellow-Ukrainian, Valentin Silvestrov, someone he greatly admires.

Silvestrov shuns the thought of composing "new" music, instead describing his work as "...a response to and an echo of what already exists." His Serenade creates a unique and delicate tapestry of dramatic and emotional textures.

Taking the cello concerto to the next level, Schumann creates a flowing dialogue between soloist and orchestra, with fine idiomatic cello-writing and a style full of effortless grace and beauty. The young German cellist Daniel Muller-Schott is the fearless soloist here.

A symphony by Schumann's friend Mendelssohn ends the programme - the "comfortless, inhospitable solitude" of a Scottish walking holiday was the inspiration behind his third symphony, dedicated to Queen Victoria. Its haunting recurring theme supposedly came to him as he explored the ruined chapel at Holyrood Palace.
