BERLIOZ Romeo and Juliet

Esa-Pekka Salonen opens the new

season with a first-rate cast performing

Berlioz’s captivating choral symphony,

Romeo and Juliet. Widely considered

to be his most original and dramatic

programmatic work, it is a tour de force

for orchestra, chorus and soloists. A

personal homage to his own heroes,

Shakespeare and Beethoven, it has been

described by the musicologist Donald

Tovey as “one of the most gigantic and

convincing masterpieces

of music-drama” ever written.

BEETHOVEN Overture, Namensfeier

SCHUMANN Piano Concerto

BERLIOZ Symphonie fantastique

Cast in five trailblazing movements,

the Symphonie fantastique celebrates

Berlioz’s delirious infatuation with the

Irish actress, Harriet Smithson, who

crops up throughout by means of her

own musical signature, or idée fixe. After

taking a draft of opium, Berlioz’s wild

ravings climax in a ‘Witches’ Sabbath’

finale, which sees Harriet consorting

with all manner of ghouls and fiends.

This afternoon’s concert marks the exact

date of Esa-Pekka Salonen’s début

BRAHMS Piano Concerto No. 1

BRAHMS Symphony No. 1

The opening concert in Andris Nelsons’s

Brahms series features two masterworks

of blazing intensity. Brahms’s First

Piano Concerto is an astonishing

achievement for a 25-year-old, yet

he felt so intimidated by Schumann’s

prediction that he was the man destined

to ‘take over the mantle of Beethoven’

that he was 43 before going public with

his all-encompassing First Symphony.

Tanja Tetzlaff cello

BRAHMS St Anthony Variations

(Variations on a Theme by Haydn)

BRAHMS Double Concerto in A minor


Although a traditionalist at heart,

Brahms is always full of surprises.

A stand-alone set of variations for

orchestra seems a perfectly innocent

idea, yet it had hardly ever been done

before. Likewise a symphony of swirling

emotions in which every movement

ends quietly (audiences at the time

were taken completely unawares), and

a Romantic concerto in which the two

soloists have to share the limelight.

Vladimir Ashkenazy conductor

Patricia Kopatchinskaja violin

STRAVINSKY Four Norwegian Moods

STRAVINSKY Violin Concerto

TCHAIKOVSKY Manfred Symphony

Rarely heard in concert, Tchaikovsky’s

gripping Manfred Symphony was inspired

by Lord Byron’s poem about a guilt-

ridden mountain dweller who summons

seven spirits in the vain hope they might

help him forget the past. The music’s

lurching from uncontainable elation to

inconsolable despair is the perfect foil

for the rhythmically cool, neoclassical

soundscapes of Stravinsky’s Violin

Concerto and the simply styled folk

melodies of the Four Norwegian Moods.

DELIUS The Walk to the Paradise Garden

GRIEG Piano Concerto

HOLST The Planets

Composed in 1868 while he was

holidaying with his wife and young child

in Denmark, Grieg’s Piano Concerto

embodies the spirit of one of the happiest

times in the composer’s life. But it was

more than two years later, after he

showed it to the great Franz Liszt, before

it achieved the public popularity that it

has enjoyed ever since. By comparison,

Holst’s planetary masterwork hit the

British music scene like a thunderbolt.

Almost overnight, he found himself

elevated from the position of a virtual

unknown into a national celebrity.

CHERUBINI Overture, Medea

BEETHOVEN Piano Concerto No. 4

BEETHOVEN Symphony No. 7

Wagner referred to Beethoven’s Seventh

as the ‘apotheosis of the dance’, noting

that rhythm is the music’s prime

motivating force. Time and time again

throughout the symphony, Beethoven

takes a small rhythmic idea and runs

with it over and over as if mesmerised

by the intoxicating power of its

repetition, climaxing in a final coda

of overwhelming joy and excitement.

In this concert, music by Beethoven is

paired with an operatic overture by the

contemporary composer that he most

admired, Luigi Cherubini.

RACHMANINOV Symphony No. 2

Prokofiev and Rachmaninov were

like chalk and cheese. Both were

brilliant composer-pianists, but

whereas Prokofiev was an iconoclast

who delighted in railing at tradition,

Rachmaninov inherited Tchaikovsky’s

mantle without demur. They shared a

genius for indelible melody, however,

Prokofiev’s being typically cool and

sleek while Rachmaninov preferred

super-heated luxuriance.

ever composed, but is also widely

celebrated as one of the finest. In this

performance of the elaborately tinted

Gustavo Dudamel conductor


The Seventh is one of Mahler’s most

bewitching musical creations. At its

heart are two movements entitled

Nachtmusik (‘Night Music’) and a central

scherzo whose haunting atmosphere and

ghostly meanderings appear to inhabit

another world. Add to that a pair of

outer movements of deeply unsettling

changeability and Dudamel’s conducting

alchemy, and you are guaranteed a night

out to remember.

There could be no better way to

his most potent influence: Richard

Wagner. In his orchestral swashbuckler

Don Juan, Strauss takes the listener

on an exhilarating helter-skelter

ride of orchestral machismo, surfing

the unquenchable tide of the Don’s

libidinous exploits. The programme

concludes with music from the climax

opera Salome, including the famous

‘Dance of the Seven Veils’.

BRAHMS Academic Festival Overture

BRAHMS Violin Concerto


Tonight’s programme finds Brahms at

his most radiantly inspired and upbeat.

The ebullient Academic Festival Overture

raises the curtain on one of the great

violin concertos, which soars aloft with

ecstatic brilliance. When working on

his sublime Second Symphony, Brahms

wrote contentedly to a friend: ‘The

melodies flow so freely that one must be

careful not to tread on them.’

BRAHMS Ein deutsches Requiem

Andris Nelsons’s Brahms series climaxes

in Ein deutsches Requiem, composed

in memory of the composer’s mother

and his most famous champion, Robert

Schumann. In this epic masterwork he

poured out his heart as never before,

a profound emotional release from a

young composer who had emerged from

impoverished beginnings and now stood

on the verge of international acclaim.

A masterwork on a different scale opens

the concert. The turbulent, forceful

impulse that drives the Third Piano

Quartet was revealed to be inspired by

the desperation in Goethe’s Werther,

hence its nickname.

This afternoon’s concert offers a

STRAUSS Ein Heldenleben

The 35 year old Richard Strauss caused

a sensation with his tone poem ‘A Hero’s

Life’ when it was premièred in 1898,

shocking musicians and critics with

what was assumed to be an egotistical

display of musical autobiography. Since

then opinion has been divided – might

it be an ironic statement of musical

bombast? – but few disagree that it is an

extraordinary achievement, rich with

flamboyance, colour and pictorial drama.

A series of special concerts marking the 150th Anniversary of the birth of Richard

Strauss led by conductors with a personal affinity for his music. The Philharmonia

A series of three concerts celebrating the musical legacy of Antonín Dvorák

director saw Prokofiev as a ‘man of the

Tugan Sokhiev conductor

Nicholas Angelich piano

FAURÉ Suite, Pelléas et Mélisande

RAVEL Piano Concerto in G

DEBUSSY La mer

STRAVINSKY Suite, The Firebird (1919)

Debussy’s principal aim in La mer

was ‘to create a mysterious harmony

between nature and the imagination’,

to translate the play of light on the

water and the sea’s place in the

natural world into musical sound.

Both Fauré and his pupil Ravel tended

more towards meticulously fashioned

soundscapes, while in The Firebird

Stravinsky took the Russian Nationalist

tradition to new levels of sensuality.

Saturday 31 May 2014 7.30pm

Yuri Temirkanov conductor

Denis Kozhukhin piano

TCHAIKOVSKY Piano Concerto No. 1

DVORÁK Symphony No. 9, From the

New World

Written in 1893 to celebrate the 400th

anniversary of Columbus’s discovery

of America, From the New World

explodes with American folk-inspired

rhythms and melodies. However, Dvorák

does not completely shun the infectious

folk music of his native Bohemia,

the influence of which can be heard

throughout the symphony.

Thursday 5 June 2014 7.30pm

Christoph von Dohnányi conductor

Eva-Maria Westbroek soprano

STRAUSS Four Last Songs

BRUCKNER Symphony No. 9 We end our Strauss series fittingly with

the composer’s last completed work – a

work that was premièred in 1950 by the

newly formed Philharmonia Orchestra

in London. Few compositions come

close to its autumnal peace, best shown

in its final movement, ‘Im Abendrot’,

which portrays an ageing couple

watching the setting sun, closing their

eyes. Bruckner’s monumental Ninth

Symphony stands alongside the other

epoch-defining Ninth symphonies of

Beethoven and Mahler. In the hands

of perhaps the greatest interpreter

of Bruckner’s music alive, this is an

unmissable concert.

saxophonist Amy Green, a winner

Paavo Järvi conductor

Kirill Gerstein piano

GLINKA Overture, Ruslan and Ludmilla

RACHMANINOV Piano Concerto No. 3

SHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 5

Paavo Järvi conducts an all-Russian

programme including Shostakovich’s

Fifth Symphony. It seems there was

no escaping the censorious spotlight of

Stalin’s cultural watchdog: Shostakovich

had effectively been backed into a


PAAVO JÄRVIcorner when he produced his all-

conquering Fifth Symphony as an

‘artist’s response to just criticism’. Even

Rachmaninov, then living in America,

wasn’t spared when in the 1930s he was

declared ‘an enemy of Russia’ and his

music outlawed.

SAARIAHO Maan varjot (Earth’s

Shadows) (UK première)

SIBELIUS Violin Concerto

SIBELIUS Symphony No. 2

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the music

of his homeland in this all-Finnish

programme. Sibelius was initially

obsessed with the idea of becoming

a world-class violinist and even got

as far as an audition with the Vienna

Philharmonic. Had he succeeded, some

of the greatest orchestral music of the

20th century may never have been

written. The most immediate outcome

was the glorious Violin Concerto,

composed for the virtuoso which

Sibelius never became. Opening the

concert, the UK première of a work

written for the Philharmonia and the

newly refurbished Royal Festival Hall

organ by leading Finnish composer,

Kaija Saariaho.

MAHLER Symphony No. 8, Symphony

of a Thousand

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts Mahler’s

mighty Symphony of a Thousand

to close the season. A hedonistic

amalgam of the medieval Latin hymn

Veni, creator spiritus (‘Come Thou,

infinite Creator’) and the closing scene

of Goethe’s Faust, Mahler’s Eighth

Symphony is scored for epic forces

including eight vocal soloists, two choirs

and a massive orchestra embracing six

clarinets (2 in E flat), four trombones,

offstage brass, two harps, mandolin and

a vast array of percussion instruments.
