| Royal Albert Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Tuesday 2-Nov-10 07:30pm The Great Classics: Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvořák Mendelssohn and his family spent the summer of 1844 in the spa town of Soden, and it was during this happy vacation that he completed his superb Violin Concerto. Although it had occupied him for several years, the finished score sparkles with freshness and spontaneity. Dvorák completed his Symphony No.9 in America in May 1893 and it was first performed in December of that year. This ‘musical letter from America’ is both a hymn to the New World and a nostalgic longing for home, expressed most powerfully in the exquisite Goin’ Home melody of the second movement, famously used in the Hovis bread advert.

| Royal Festival Hall, London, London, United Kingdom Wednesday 15-Dec-10 07:30pm Beethoven, Martinů, Julian Anderson and Nielsen This is the first chance this season to hear a work by the Orchestra’s new Composer in Residence Julian Anderson. Also comes music that lives no less: there’s a tinge of magic to Martinů’s Second Violin Concerto, filled with endearing harmonic flicks and flounces as it forages restlessly through a jungle of orchestral effects. And what is it about Fifth Symphonies? Beethoven’s, Shostakovich’s, Sibelius’s – they appear invested with an extra profundity. They seem to reach out from their neighbours. Nielsen’s Fifth is no different. An epic struggle between darkness and light, minor and major, violence and humanity; the lone voice of the snare drum silenced eventually by a surging, searing orchestra. | ||

| Anvil, Basingstoke, Basingstoke RG21 7QR, United Kingdom Friday 4-Feb-11 07:45pm City of Birmingham Orchestra Beethoven's overture is a stirring tone-poem which sets the scene for Goethe's play about an opponent of tyranny in the sixteenth century. Shostakovich's first cello concerto, written in 1959 for Rostropovich, is one of his most important and successful works. A musically taut and concentrated piece, it is built on two four-note motifs, including the composer's own musical signature. Richard Strauss' portrait of the composer as hero - waging war against carping critics, finding an ideal companion, enjoying a life of creativity and fulfilment - was the culmination of his amazing series of symphonic poems of the 1800s and 90s. Strauss' imagination emerges through the medium of his unrivalled knowledge of the orchestra to produce an enthralling piece which contains some of his best music. "Andris Nelsons' dynamic performances of Richard Strauss with the CBSO have been one of the strongest indicators of his exceptional gifts as a conductor." The Guardian | ||
