Russian conductor Vassily Sinaisky, always a popular guest of the orchestra, has made some fascinating forays into British music in recent years. Having shown his versatility with some outstanding Elgar in the past, here he tackles the most lyrical of Vaughan Williams’ symphonies, the beautiful, mystical Fifth. Holst’s ebullient Perfect Fool ballet music makes the perfect prelude to Britten’s scintillatingly virtuosic Piano Concerto. This is barn-storming young man’s music, written for the young composer himself to play at the BBC Proms, and as the Gramophone Award-winning recording with the BBC SSO will attest, it has the ideal interpreter in Steven Osborne.
Please note the early start time of this concert.
6.15pm Pre-Concert Prelude (in the Recital Room): Steven Osborne talks to BBC Radio Scotland presenter, Stephen Duffy, about Britten’s Piano Concerto and about life as an international soloist.
Post-Concert Coda (approximately 10 minutes after the end of the main concert): Steven Osborne plays Tippett’s Sonata for Piano No.2, composed in 1962 and premiered at that year’s Edinburgh International Festival.
