BBC SSO Thursday Night Series Isserlis & Runnicles play Ravel & Debussy
City Halls : Grand Hall
Please Note: This is a past event event.
Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.
A delightful programme of French music with a difference. Two great orchestral portraits by Debussy and Ravel – of the ocean and of fin de-siècle Vienna – begin and end the concert. But between them, two rarities for cello and orchestra – fruits of Steven Isserlis’s restless quest to expand the cello repertoire. Most exciting is the ‘lost’ early Cello Suite by Debussy.
Sally Beamish has beautifully orchestrated the two surviving movements and arranged three other pieces to sit alongside them, making a substantial ‘new’ work.
Prelude: 6.45pm in the Recital Room
Composer Sally Beamish and cellist Steven Isserlis in conversation with Stephen Duffy.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the main concert):
Steven Isserlis plays the original version of Ravel’s Deux mélodies hébraïques and Fauré’s Sicilienne accompanied by Donald Runnicles, piano.
