Description
SYMPHONIC DANCES
From Brahms a concerto that began life as a symphony, from Rachmaninoff a 'symphony' that began life as ballet music. And tucked in between these ambitious and inspiring pieces: pure exuberance!
Brahms's First Piano Concerto began life as an attempt at a symphony - no wonder it's so ambitious in scope - almost a symphony for piano and orchestra. Rachmaninoff's Symphonic Dances began life as a ballet score - and its dance inspiration gave the world a glamorous and intoxicating work for the concert hall.
This is a concert that moves in tragic and fatalistic realms - it has the beauty of storm clouds, the impetuosity of youth and the nostalgia of old age. At its centre is a moment of unrestrained celebration - noisy exuberance as Dvořák’s nocturnal revellers sing and dance.
