Ilan Volkov, in his new role as Principal Guest Conductor, begins this concert with the scintillating adventures of Strauss’ amorous anti-hero Don Juan and brings it to a resounding close with the single, soaring arc of wonderful music that is Sibelius’ final symphony.
Between these, a new piece from Sir Peter Maxwell Davies to celebrate his 75th birthday year, and Beethoven’s most genial piano concerto played by leading Austrian pianist Stefan Vladar.
6.45pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Sir Peter Maxwell Davies in conversation with Gavin Reid, Director BBC SSO
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the main concert): Stefan Vladar plays Haydn’s Piano Sonata in C major, Hob.XVI/50.
