Ulster Orchestra: Grand Masters
Description
Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff are three giants of Russian music, and this concert foregrounds all their exceptional talents.
Arensky uses one of Tchaikovsky’s Sixteen Children’s Songs to capture a range of moods and character, while Stravinsky’s Concerto for Violin is a feisty, joyful romp for the instrument, full of cheerful melody and musical wit. To close, a second visit to the no-holds-barred emotional world of Rachmaninoff’s symphonies (though you’ll have to wait until 2025/26 for Symphony No. 3!) and the achingly beautiful, flamboyantly majestic Second.
Arensky - Variations on a Theme by Tchaikovsky
Stravinsky - Concerto for Violin
Rachmaninoff - Symphony No.2
ANGUS WEBSTER - CONDUCTOR
ROSANNE PHILIPPENS - VIOLIN
