One of the most celebrated pianists of our time, Elisabeth Leonskaya joins the orchestra for its second concert, playing Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 9. The evening finishes with a performance of Holst’s largest orchestral work – a suite of seven unique movements, named after all of the planets apart from Pluto, undiscovered at the time of its composition.

This sunny composition is followed by a performance of Rachmaninov’s romantic Piano Concerto No. 1, played by award-winning Russian pianist Andrei Korobeinikov, made up of weighty piano chords, heart-wrenching tunes and sumptuous orchestral accompaniment. The orchestra concludes with Brahms’ Symphony No. 4, whose rich orchestral colours and triumphant climax are a fitting finale, described by many as being the most original and powerful movement he ever wrote.

Under its current Artistic and General Director Valery Gergiev, the orchestra has become one of the leading symphony orchestras in Russia and one of the top orchestras in the world. The International Tchaikovsky Competition, first held more than 50 years ago, is one of the major events in the international music community. The competition gives the brightest and best young pianists, violinists, cellists and singers a chance to be noticed by the international professional community and the general public, launching many glittering musical careers. Previous winners have included Van Cliburn, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Peter Donohoe, Denis Matsuev, Gidon Kramer, Mario Brunello, Deborah Voigt, Victoria Mullova and, most recently in 2011, Daniil Trifonov. The 2015 Tchaikovsky Competition will take place between 15 June and 3 July, 2015 in Moscow and St Petersburg and all rounds of the competition will be streamed live on the internet reaching a global audience. Over 600 applications were received by artists from 45 countries. The winners are guaranteed an international tour with Gergiev and this evening’s concert gives Cadogan Hall’s audience a first chance to see the Gold Medallists of the 2015 competition performing live in London.

Strauss FOUR LAST SONGS Mahler SYMPHONY NO. 4 Brussels Philharmonic, joined by the former Music Director of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Yoel Levi and soprano Susan Gritton, give a performance of Strauss’ Four Last Songs. The piece, often quoted as his epitaph, is full of orchestral colour, radiant lyricism and Strauss’ life-long love affair with the soprano voice. Susan Gritton, former principal singer at English National Opera is one of the finest singers of her generation and is acclaimed for her versatility in many roles. To end the evening, the orchestra plays Mahler’s ebullient Symphony No. 4. The symphony, described as Mahler’s sunniest, is full of expressive orchestral detail and glorious melodies.

Lesueur CORONATION MUSIC FOR NAPOLEON Schoenberg ODE TO NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, OP. 41 Beethoven WELLINGTONS SIEG, (WELLINGTON’S VICTORY), OP. 91 Berlioz THE FIFTH OF MAY, OP. 6 Beethoven CHORAL FANTASY, OP. 80 Flanders Symphony Orchestra, one of Belgium’s most distinguished orchestras, under its Music Director Jan Latham-Koenig, presents two unique programmes weaving music, poetry and human responses to the realities of war. The first two pieces by Debussy and Elgar were written as contributions to King Albert’s Book published in Britain by The Telegraph, as Debussy put it ‘an homage to so much patient suffering’ after the German invasion of Belgium in World War 1. Ibert’s three-movement symphony based on Oscar Wilde’s poem (narrated by Simon Callow, subject to availability), captures the brutal beauty of his meditations on life in gaol and his reflections on morality, the death penalty and the penal system. Composers Richard Blackford and Piet Swerts have been commissioned by the orchestra to write music inspired by war atrocities in Flanders – John McCrae’s In Flanders Field is the inspiration for Richard Blackford’s new work. Piet Swerts writes, ‘I knew that the power of music could evoke and transcend this drama’ and the concert ends with the positivity of Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance Marches. The second concert presents music written for or about Napoleon and is a chronological journey through his life with positive and negative artistic responses to him. Schoenberg’s setting of Byron’s powerful poem, written in 1942 when another tyranny held sway over Europe, pours scorn on the idea of achieving ambition at the cost of other people’s lives. The final piece, Beethoven’sChoral Fantasy, could be seen as an affirmation of universal human values and their ability to triumph over adversity. Written by Christoph

From that moment on, when fascination and surprise joined with his vital and irrepressible impulse to make and create music, his whole life took a new path towards the ars sonora until, at just 33 years of age, he attained quite a significant, multi-faceted, international reputation. Indeed, personal circumstances and his own prevailing need to grow and learn, to drink in the world beyond geographic limits and the conservatism of his place of origin, led to his endless progression and the path towards discovery (and consequently, perhaps his estrangement in such a restless search) being the most particular features of his music. There is no doubt that if anything has characterised – and is still characterising – our composer, who is still in the midst of dazzling youth despite his already long career, it is due to his farsightedness and his need for freedom.

Béla Bartók’s Violin Concerto No. 2 was written in the depressing period preceding the outbreak of WW2, and it is the last work of the composer written prior to his emigration to the USA. For Johannes Brahms the way to symphonic genre was thorny; the German author finished his first sym- phony as a 40-year-old man. After this “debut” he plucked up courage and his Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73 abounds with cheerfulness and fresh invention. Slovak Philharmonic led by its music director James Judd welcomes the French violinist Renaud Capuçon at the festival’s opening concert. The violinist has a number of admirers in Bratislava; he excels at convincing moulding of contrasts of “understated tenderness and charming daring” (New York Times).

  • Searching for Chopin
    SEARCHING FOR CHOPIN Written and photographed by Marcus Siu and Lidia Thompson exclusively for PoloniaSF.org The famous Chopin autograph sign hanging above the stage at the National Philharmonic, home of the Warsaw Philharmonic, and venue for the 16th Annual International Chopin Piano Competition. My sheer appreciation of classical piano music didn’t quite develop until early on during my adult years. It probably didn’t help when I was forced into taking piano lessons at the innocent age of twelve, fiendishly schemed and executed perfectly by my mother, despite my repetitive refusals to comply. The real reason, of course, was that I feared that my pre-teen image would be greatly tarnished by the younger kids of the neighborhood. I couldn’t let that happen. At that time of my life, I was much more interested in rock music. The Rolling Stones was my idea of what classical music should be. Though, I didn’t really form much of an opinion in “classical” music in my teens, I definitely enjoyed hearing to it in movies, especially in such great films, such as Stanley Kubrick’s “2001 – A Space Odyssey”. Nowadays, when I hear a Johann Strauss waltz, I no longer think of 18th century revelers in Venetian masks and fancy gowns, dancing in a grand ballroom with twenty foot chandeliers hanging above them; but instead, slow rotating floating space stations or airline stewardesses walking carefully down the aisles in zero gravity. My piano teacher recognized my passive taste for classical music immediately and offered different genres of music to keep me motivated in learning the instrument.

  • 'The LSO at Full Tilt Is a Terrifying, Glamorous Beast.'
    London Symphony Orchestra ‘The LSO at full tilt is a terrifying, glamorous beast.’ The Times on the LSO in concert at the Barbican London’s Symphony Orchestra lso.co.uk LSO Season 2015/16 Concert Guide ANTONIO PAPPANO From the An unrivalled family of artists The LSO is fortunate not only to be made up of the finest orchestral musicians – many of whom are solo artists in their own right – but to also work regularly with a renowned group of visiting international artists whose affection and respect concert hall … for the LSO is completely mutual. This season Valery Gergiev explores pivotal ballet 2014/15 to 2015/16 scores close to his heart, Bernard Haitink returns alongside pianists Murray Perahia and Imogen Cooper, The LSO continues its pioneering concert series in London at the Barbican and around the world. Sir John Eliot Gardiner continues his exploration of Mendelssohn’s orchestral works, Daniel Harding celebrates his 20th anniversary working with the LSO, SIR SIMON RATTLE John Adams and Thomas Adès conduct their own works, and there will be new programmes from Michael Tilson Thomas, Sir Antonio Pappano and Sir Mark Elder. Remembering World War I November 2014 was a poignant moment for people across Britain as the poppies at the Tower of London BERNARD HAITINK became a symbol for nations remembering those whose lives were so changed by the outbreak of World War I. MICHAEL TILSON THOMAS The LSO is the only London orchestra still in existence today that was in existence then, being ten years old in 1914; we therefore mark centenary moments until 2018, a century after the war ended.
