Chinese-American conductor Lan Shui makes his debut with the BBC SSO in a Russian programme that features the rarely performed original version of Stravinsky’s great ballet Petrushka. This 1911 score fields a huge orchestra that lends an even greater than usual range of colour to Stravinsky’s music.
Young Russian piano virtuoso Denis Kozhukhin embarks on the second stage of his Prokofiev journey with the youthful, barnstorming Piano Concerto No.1.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Writer and BBC Radio 3 broadcaster Stephen Johnson talks about the impact that Stravinsky’s Petrushka had on the musical world of 1911.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the main concert):
Denis Kozhukhin performs Schoenberg’s Six Little Piano Pieces, Op.19 of 1911.
