Written for the Warsaw Philharmonic in 1954, Lutosławski’s virtuosic folk-inflected Concerto for Orchestra creates a unique sound-world. Lauded for his recording of Shostakovich’s Preludes and Fugues, pianist Alexander Melnikov is the soloist in the composer’s buoyant Piano Concerto No. 2. Andrzej Panufnik’s Tragic Overture and Lullaby and Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony paint a vivid picture of two nations in parallel periods of anxiety.Tickets £7.50 - £36. | ||

| Philharmonic Hall, Liverpool, Liverpool, United Kingdom Thursday 1-May-14 07:30pm Don Juan Richard Strauss’s Don Juan goes off like a rocket, and you can almost smell the Fabergé Brut in this swashbuckling musical portrait of a great seducer in action. It’s a breathtaking opener to a concert that climaxes with Lutosławski’s Concerto for Orchestra shooting joyful fireworks into the grey skies of post-war Poland. First, though, comes an even more brilliant celebration – as the 25-year-old violin star Ray Chen makes his Liverpool debut with the bittersweet songs and zingy dances of Prokofiev’s everpopular Second Violin Concerto. Three beautiful miniatures from Lutosławski’s friend Górecki complete what should be a memorable return visit for conductor Michał Nesterowicz – who had such a warm welcome last season. ‘Ray Chen can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin. Chen makes a beautiful sound but doesn’t get lost in tone for its own sake; he knows how to make a sound that feels exactly right for the piece in question.’ The Washington Post | ||
