| 9-Dec-2012 Eastbourne Congress Theatre | Alexandra Silocea dazzles with the LPO and Jurowski at Congress Theatre, Eastbourne | Evan Dickerson |
It is often interesting to hear performers one knows well in a different setting, and this concert was a case in point for me. The London Philharmonic Orchestra have performed often in Eastbourne since the 1930s and at the Congress Theatre for the past seventeen seasons, but this was my first visit to the venue. Based on this concert, I am hopeful that it will not be my last. The reading of Brahms’ Tragic Overture allowed ample opportunity to assess the acoustic, finding that it favoured a bright violin timbre, whilst allowing the lower strings to be resonant.Read full review... | ||

All three works in this programme were written by composers in mid-life - late 30s, early 40s - and all worked within the Austro-German tradition, but one would be surprised to find they had much else in common. The performances this evening did, however, manage to forge an unexpected congruence between them.
