The 大象传媒 Philharmonic and Ilan Volkov bring a programme of rich melody and entrancing colour from the Victoria Hall to brighten a February evening. Delightful miniatures from Ravel's ballet 'Mother Goose' open the programme; we meet Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and Beast, Tom Thumb, the Empress of the Pagodas and end our visit to Ravel's magical world in a Fairy Garden, each piece conjured up in spectacular orchestral colours. The 大象传媒 Philharmonic is joined by cellist Guy Johnston for Tchaikovsky's sparkling Rococo Variations before the orchestra launches into Rachmaninov's passionate Second Symphony, a trail of memorable melodies and rich textures.
