| St Davids Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 1-Oct-10 07:30pm BBC National Orchestra of Wales From its opening primeval theme, thundered out by eight horns, to its exultant earth-shattering close, this is a journey of discovery like no other. Mahler's Third Symphony is one of the most extravagant all-embracing symphonies ever written, with an impact that will fill every corner of St David's Hall. Mahler himself spoke of it as being "of such magnitude that it mirrors the whole world. Tadaaki Otaka's recent performances of Mahler have had the critics reaching for superlatives - this is an occasion not to miss.

Hear it next to Rachmaninov's The Isle of the Dead - a spine-chilling evocation of the isle from which no-one returns, and Ravel's Piano Concerto with its still serene slow movement recalling the spirit of Mozart.

It has celebrated his genius ever since. They return with three imperishable classics: the tragedy and pathos of Schubert's Unifinished Symphony, the ebuliant high spirits of Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto and Mozart's majestic, serene, final symphony, the Jupiter. | ||

| St Davids Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Saturday 15-Jan-11 07:30pm Philharmonia Orchestra Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring is a searing explosion of energy evoking the violent arrival of the Russian spring. Both it and Bartók's ballet, The Miraculous Mandarin, sparked riots after their first performances and it's not difficult to hear why: both have a passionate intensite and primeval earthiness from which Western music has never quite recovered. They fram Shostakovich's fresh, lyrical Second Piano Concerto. | ||

He joins the Orchestra of Welsh National Opera in the exhilarating energy and night-time reverie of Bartók's Second Piano Concerto, heard alongside the exquisite bejewelled music of fellow Hungarian, György Kurtág. And to top the concert is Beethoven's Seventh Symphony: demonic in its energy and intoxicating in its life enhancing force. | ||

| St Davids Hall, Cardiff, Cardiff CF10 2DP, United Kingdom Friday 28-Jan-11 07:00pm BBC National Orchestra of Wales Harmonielehre started life when John Adams experienced a dream in which he watched a tanker in San Francisco Bay shoot out of the water like a rocket. From the glittering pulsating rhythms of its opening, through to the shimmering light, optimism and energy of its close, this is a roller-coaster of a piece that never let's go for one moment.
Equally large and ambitious in scale is the biggest and grandest of all romantic piano concertos - the majestic Second by Brahms. | ||
