A solo cello poses the question. The answer? Dance; whether the joyous whirl of Berlioz’s take on Weber, or the astonishing creative flights of Lutostawski’s masterly concerto. Nothing seems to liberate creative energy quite so explosively, from the swinging hedonism of Strauss’s champagne operetta to the headlong rhythmic verve of Beethoven’s barnstorming Seventh Symphony – the work that prompted even Richard Wagner to get on his toes. As a composer himself, BBC SSO Artist-in-Association Matthias Pintscher understands the power of rhythm; his partnership with a soloist as brilliantly inventive as Johannes Moser should strike dazzling sonic sparks.
