Schubert Symphony No. 8 ‘Unfinished’ Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha Suite of LiederMendelssohn Symphony No. 4 ‘Italian’
Christopher Warren-Green conductor
Around 1820, a change was happening in Western music. Restraint and formality were on their way out and expression and emotion were in, marking the change from the Classical period to the Romantic.
Schubert’s Eighth Symphony, which he started writing in 1822, is often called the first Romantic symphony. Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony, written a few years later, is 100% Romantic, and filled with Italian atmosphere that he soaked up during a trip across Europe.
Prince Albert, Queen Victoria’s beloved husband, was born around the same time. Although he’s often praised as a champion of art and science and industry, his work as a composer is mostly overlooked. Which is a shame – this selection of songs shows all the hallmarks of a young man growing up alongside romanticism.

The 23 String OrchestraDebut Performance
Elgar Serenade for StringsShostakovich (arr. Barshai) Chamber SymphonyJanáček Suite for StringsElgar Introduction and Allegro for Strings
Paul Barritt leaderDavid Cutts conductor
There is a great selection of wonderful music for strings alone, often appearing in the shadow of larger orchestral works. The aim of the founder of The 23, conductor David Cutts, working in conjunction with chamber musicians and leader Paul Barritt, is to bring this great music to the concert hall with fine players and sufficient rehearsal to reveal its distinction.
The works in this programme include two of Elgar’s masterpieces from 1892 and 1905 framing Janáček’s youthful but enchanting Suite from 1877 and Barshai’s arrangement for string orchestra of Shostakovich’s most played quartet, the Eighth. This is a highly personal piece, dedicated ‘to the victims of fascism and the war’. It was written in an intense three days in Dresden and premiered in 1960. The string orchestra version brings it even greater dramatic weight.
Tickets: £40, £30, £20, £10ENCORE Members: £5 off top price tickets
Freddie Gavita solo trumpet and flugelhornSteve Fishwick solo trumpetThe 19-piece Pete Long OrchestraDavid Hepworth presenter
Featuring ‘Summertime’, ‘I Loves You Porgy’, ‘So What’, ‘Bess’, ‘You Is My Woman’, ‘My Ship’, ‘All Blues’, ‘Will O’ The Wisp’, ‘Maids of Cadiz’.
The collaboration of Miles Davis with arranger Gil Evans produced three superlative albums: Porgy and Bess, Miles Ahead and Sketches of Spain. The sublime orchestrations feature instruments seldom heard in jazz (oboe, alto and bass flutes, French horns, bass clarinets and tuba) creating a gorgeous backdrop for Miles’ plaintive soloing. The concert will also feature music from Milestones and Kind of Blue (the bestselling jazz album of all time).
Renowned music journalist, author and TV presenter David Hepworth will present the show. Pete Long, musical director of the Ronnie Scott’s Orchestra conducts and Freddie Gavita, winner of Best Trumpet Player at the 2017 British Jazz Awards, shares the role of Miles with acclaimed British trumpet star Steve Fishwick.

Kian Soltani cello (RPO Artist in Residence 2019)Jiří Rožeň conductor
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra opens its 2019-20 series at Cadogan Hall with stunning works that evoke the colours of the landscapes that inspired them.
Raising the curtain is Smetana’s Vltava from Má Vlast, portraying a morning on Prague’s Moldau river, in which the dancing playfulness of the flutes and unique glimmer of the strings give the piece an irresistible charm.
Following is Elgar’s Cello Concerto, a staple of English Romanticism performed by renowned cellist and RPO Artist in Residence 2019, Kian Soltani. Completing the programme is Dvořák’s Symphony No. 8 which leans heavily on the natural folk rhythms of his homeland to paint a picture-perfect summer in Bohemia.

Hummel Freudenfest OvertureLiszt A Hundred Years AgoR. Strauss Der Rosenkavalier Suite
Kirill Karabits conductor
Liszt’s A Hundred Years Ago was first performed in Weimar for the festivities celebrating Schiller’s 100th birthday. A theatrical melodrama featuring actors interacting with Liszt’s incidental music, this performance is a brand new dramatic conception by Gerard McBurney.
It is followed by Der Rosenkavalier Suite, an instant success with its Mozart-like farce and flurry of waltzes. Abounding in melodic splendour, this suite captures the most celebrated moments of the opera from which it is taken.
To conclude, Hummel’s joyful overture, composed to celebrate Napoleon’s defeat at Waterloo, interrupts its energetic chatter for a resounding burst of God Save the King.

Cast to include Sarah-Jane Lewis, Paula Sides, Adrian Clarke, Luis Gomes, and John Savournin.
Tom Seligman conductor
Frustrated lovers, the pursuit of money, inter-generational rivalry and a false identity: Un giorno di regno has all the ingredients for a classic Italian comedy. But Un giorno di regno was a notorious failure at its world premiere and soon disappeared from the stage.
A new critical edition has revealed just how much care Verdi put into the work – re-directing attention to its succession of brilliant arias, comic mishaps and poignant emotion. The time is ripe for Verdi’s comedy to be heard again, reminding us all of the truths to be uncovered in mischievous fantasy.

Federico Colli pianoPier Carlo Orizio conductor
Few piano works have an opening as iconic as Grieg’s Piano Concerto. The dramatic flair of the first movement begins the work with a display of incomparable virtuosity, an opportunity taken up by Italian soloist Federico Colli. Moving from lush sensitivity to frantic chromaticism, there is little the pianist is left challenged by in this monumental work.
Brahms’ last symphony is a stalwart of 19th-century symphonic repertoire. Its rich passages and themes are at their most affecting in the finale when the multiplying variations create a certain dark, intellectual impulse that is at its most exposed in the Symphony.

Purcell King ArthurConcert performance
Rachel Elliot sopranoRebecca Outram sopranoBethany Partridge sopranoWill Towers counter-tenor James Way tenorPeter Willcock bass-baritoneCounterpointMark Forkgen conductor
Purcell’s colourful ‘semi-opera’ of 1691, depicting the conflict between King Arthur’s Britons and the heathen Saxon invaders, was composed to a libretto by the poet John Dryden. In this performance of the music from the opera, soloists and chorus will take on the roles of good and evil magicians, mythical and supernatural beings, as well as soldiers, amorous shepherds, drunken peasants and the inhabitants of a frozen land. Purcell’s glorious music eloquently conveys the full range of emotions and the work ends in celebration of a united country and the triumph of love, honour and peace.

‘The Mozartists gave the same high quality performance that has come to be expected from Page’s band. He is a consummate Mozartian who brings the flavours and colours of the composer to life... A masterclass in how to do a concert performance – and do it well.’ Bachtrack

Chloë Hanslip violinGrace Davidson sopranoStephanie Wake-Edwards mezzo-sopranoAaron Godfrey-Mayes tenorJacob Phillips baritoneCity of London ChoirHilary Davan Wetton conductor
Mozart’s wealth of choral music is prolific, and inarguably one of the crown jewels in his legacy is his Coronation Mass. Given the name for the sheer frequency of its use in royal ceremonies, little needs to be said about the grandeur that this momentous piece exudes. Also in the programme are choral and orchestral pieces by Mendelssohn, including his electrifying Violin Concerto with the ‘passionate, eloquent’ (The Independent) Chloë Hanslip. The City of London Choir performs the German composer’s unaccompanied settings of Psalm 43 and Verleih uns Frieden gnädiglich.

Mahler Symphony No. 3
Ester Pavlů mezzo-sopranoPietari Inkinen conductor
‘Just imagine a work of such magnitude that it actually mirrors the whole world,’ said Mahler of his Third Symphony as he wrote it during his summers at a tiny cabin by the lake at Attersee. His surroundings certainly impacted him, and the pastoral themes of nature ring through the Symphony. This is not just a picturesque scene of birdsong and flowers though – Mahler’s ambitions were loftier than that – and his Third Symphony achieves them: depicting the forces of the natural world through to the heavenly beings that created them.
‘The crowd favourite ... was Inkinen. He knows how to draw a sensuous, surging sound from the orchestra’ Classical Voice America

Christian Sands Trio+ Camilla George
One of the most in-demand pianists in jazz, Christian Sands is a force of nature with his technique, pace, and fresh look at the entire language of jazz.
After having toured around the world as a bandleader and recently appearing on records by Christian McBride and Gregory Porter, in 2018 Sands was named creative ambassador of The Erroll Garner Jazz Project.
Sands has that same affable understanding of the audience as he recognizes their innate desire to be entertained as well as enlightened. He says, ‘Pop music is essential in jazz. It’s new melodies, it’s new stories, or same stories told in different ways. Jazz is about storytelling and pop music has a unique story to tell.’

At Cadogan Hall, Jean Toussaint presents the release of his 12th album Live at the Jazz Cafe, recorded at the end of his 2018 Brother Raymond launch tour. The album features new live takes on the music from Brother Raymond as well as new compositions written for the recording, developing the fusion of Jazz Messengers Soul and Calypso spice.

Marking the 100th year of Blakey’s birth with selections from a new recording, The Messenger Legacy will feature musicians wishing to preserve, protect and honour the legacy of an artist who was much more than a bandleader to them all.
30 years ago, Peterson was a 21-year-old emerging musician chosen to play by Blakey in the 1983 version of The Jazz Messengers’ two-drummer big band, and remained the second drummer until Blakey’s passing.

Glazunov First Concert WaltzProkofiev Sinfonia ConcertanteBorodin Polovtsian Dances from Prince IgorShostakovich Symphony No. 9
Kian Soltani cello (RPO Artist in Residence 2019)Alexander Shelley conductor
Inspired by his teachers Borodin and Glazunov, the opening concert of the RPO’s 360° series features Shostakovich and the works that were instrumental in forming the radical Russian composer’s music, presented and conducted by RPO Principal Associate Conductor Alexander Shelley.
Whilst Borodin and Glazunov demonstrate the rich Russian traditions produced in the 19th century, it is perhaps with Shostakovich’s contemporary Prokofiev that comparisons are most readily drawn. Shostakovich’s legacy has taken the course of a composer heavily affected by political demand. In navigating the harsh realities of the Second World War and appeasement of the Soviet regime came his Symphony No. 9, an abstract expression of hope for a nation ravaged by war.
