In this evening of musical contrasts, the partnership of the BBC SSO and Ilan Volkov expands to include Stephen Kovacevich, one of Britain’s leading pianists. He features in one of Mozart’s most jovial creations for piano and orchestra, sprightly classical opener to Schönberg’s virtuoso piece for chamber orchestra. Completing the programme is one of the best loved works in the entire orchestral canon: Beethoven’s hymn to nature, the Pastoral Symphony.
Prelude: Peter Hill from the University of Sheffield talks about Music and Nature.
Coda: Peter Hill, pianist and leading authority on the music of Messiaen, plays L’Alouette Lulu (Nightingale) from Messiaen’s Catalogue d’oiseaux.
