Two symphonies written 50 years apart, and perfectly complementary, bookend two great French works for piano and orchestra played by a master.

C茅sar Franck's once hugely popular Symphonic Variations are paired with Ravel's inventive Concerto for the Left Hand, both works played by the award-winning Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, a pianist with an innate and wonderfully natural feeling for French music.

They form the heart of a programme that opens with Florent Schmitt's last work, his Second Symphony of 1957, a piece of luxuriant orchestration with a battery of percussion - a captivating follow-up to last season's performance of Schmitt's incidental music for Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. Sibelius's Third makes a perfect complement to the Francophone tone of the programme, a work of almost classical poise and scale; another staging post in Sakari Oramo's Sibelius symphony cycle.
