| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Thursday 17-May-12 07:30pm The Hallé perform Borodin and Tchaikovsky Sir Mark Elder and the Hallé present a White Night of great Russian music. Borodin’s overture for his nationalistic opera Prince Igor begins in sombre fashion before fanfares herald a succession of unforgettable (and very Russian) themes. The same composer’s Second Symphony is equally striking and concludes with an irrepressible finale. In 2009 Sofya Gulyak became the first female winner of the prestigious Leeds International Piano Competition. Here she joins the Hallé in a performance of her compatriot’s enthralling Concert Fantasy, a work now enjoying a long-overdue revival. The splendid 1812 Overture rounds off the evening in the most stirring fashion. This programme is also performed on Wednesday 16 and Sunday 20 May 2012 at The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. Tickets from £9.50. | ||

Wagner, Parsifal: Prelude (to Act 3) |
![]() | ||
| Southbank Centre: Royal Festival Hall, London, London SE1 8XX, United Kingdom Thursday 17-May-12 07:30pm Philharmonia Orchestra After the first performance of his Fifth Symphony, composed between 1901 and 1903, Mahler is said to have declared, “Nobody understood it. I wish I could conduct the first performance fifty years after my death.” More than a hundred years after his death it is certainly recognised as one of the most emotionally complex and ambitious symphonies of the 20th century. From its famous funereal opening trumpet solo to its blazing finale, it encompasses an extraordinary range of styles and moods. At its heart is the Adagietto, an extended love poem to his wife Alma, who he met in 1901 and proposed to just three weeks after their first meeting.

| Chapel of the Poor Clares, Galway, Galway, Ireland Friday 18-May-12 01:00pm 1000 years of bagpipe in France French bagpipes through the centuries, a recital of music from the Middle Ages to the present day.François Lazarevitch hornnemuses : boha, muchosa, musette, chabrette, cornemuse du Centre, cabrette, flûte double satarav, flûte à trois trous & tambour, flûte baroque. « You must be Breton! » Listeners often jump to that conclusion on hearing a piper in France. Yet bagpipes are one of the largest families of instruments, with at least fifteen members in the French branch alone, all of them differing in form, sound and playing technique. The bagpipe in all its diversity is part of France’s musical and cultural heritage. With its animal shape and its powerful, continuous sound, it has always intrigued and fascinated, and sometimes even inspired fear. French bagpipes bear such names as boha, musette, cabrette… Basically a folk instrument, at one time it even became fashionable at the French court and in society. François Lazarevitch invites you to discover this beguiling instrument and its mysteries. Tickets: €15 / €10 /€5 Works by Marcabru (before 1130-after 1149) Works by Halle, Adam de la (1245-1288) | ||
