This is Romantic music to fire your imagination, showcasing the full potential of the orchestra in a display of vitality, playful drama and virtuosity.
Bursting with character and charm, Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations dances with elegant rhythm, continually transforming across nine short movements. You’ll immediately hear why Daniel Müller-Schott is considered one of the world’s greatest cellists as he brings Tchaikovsky’s ‘cello concerto’ to life. The introduction of the cello after a brief interlude is hugely satisfying, and the final variation is a thrilling whirlwind of virtuoso playing.
Dukas’ iconic The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is a dramatic voyage of colour, sound and motion, as an apprentice left alone recites a magic formula to bring a broom to life. What could go wrong? The low croaks of the bassoons as the brooms are animated will set your pulse racing.
Brimming with atmosphere and vibrant colour, the music of Stravinsky’s Petrushka will captivate you. If you like your music with a dash of make-believe, this gorgeous concert is your ticket to dream.
