Haydn and Schubert symphonies in Poole
Kirill Karabits conducts the Bournemouth SO in symphonies by Haydn and Schubert, and Mendelssohn's virtuosic First Piano Concerto.
Kirill Karabits conducts the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra in a programme that traces a line from Haydn to Schubert. Joining the orchestra, tonight's soloist, the American pianist Jeremy Denk, performs Mendelssohn's dazzling first piano concerto, written when he was just 21. It's a work that reflects Mendelssohn's own considerable pianistic abilities (he gave the premiere in 1831), with ample room for the soloist to shine in its breathtaking runs.
Two major symphonists bookend the concert. To open, part of a London series of commissions, when the composer was in his sixties, Haydn's Symphony No 102 is a shining example of his mastery of the form. And what better way to conclude than with Schubert's joyous Fifth Symphony, redolent with youthful optimism.
Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Lighthouse in Poole.
