Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra - Stravinsky, Strauss, Beethoven

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra/Kirill Karabits. Stravinsky: Octet. Strauss: Wind Serenade. Stravinsky: Concerto for Piano and Winds (with Frank Braley). Beethoven: Symphony No 5.

Live from the Lighthouse, Poole

The Bournemouth SO, conducted by Kirill Karabits, play Beethoven's Fifth and works by Strauss and Stravinsky.

They open with Stravinsky's playful Octet, one of his earliest neo-classical works, every page of which reveals a wry, astringent wit.
Strauss' Wind Serenade is a youthful work, whose charm, vivacity, and technical assurance of makes it a worthy successor of Mozart's Gran Partita, upon which it is clearly modelled.

The Concerto for Piano and Winds exemplifies Stravinsky's full-blooded neoclassical style. It begins with a slow processional of enormous gravity; the ensuing toccata explodes with a high trumpet blast. These polarities are retained throughout with a sonorous largo and breathless finale.

Beethoven's Fifth Symphony has the most famous beginning in all of classical music. It is a work of enormous accumulated energy thrusting harmonically and rhythmically through from the opening gesture to the final glorious cadences.
