Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov, Kapustin and Borodin
Santtu-Matias Rouvali and the Philharmonia perform some colourful orchestral showpieces, and they're joined by Frank Dupree for Nikolai Kapustin's exuberant Piano Concerto No. 5.
Recorded earlier this month, the Philharmonia Orchestra and their Principal Conductor Santtu-Matias Rouvali bring a tuneful and colourful programme to the Royal Festival Hall. It's bookended by two orchestral showpieces: Glinka's and Rimsky-Korsakov's impressions of Spain, a country which represented the far-away and exotic to 19th-century Russians.
Also on the bill, a work by Rimsky's contemporary and music's most famous research chemist, Alexander Borodin. Borodin's Symphony No. 2 embraces heroic grandeur and humour, and also a whiff of the exotic with its nod to Orientalism, another preoccupation for fashionable Russians then. Before it, comes the fifth piano concerto of Nikolai Kapustin. Frank Dupree, tireless champion of the Ukrainian-Soviet composer, is the soloist in this immediately likeable and exuberant music which fuses classical form with a dizzying, freewheeling 1940s US jazz aesthetic.
Introduced by Martin Handley.
