Beethoven - Leonore Overture No.3
Beethoven - Piano Concerto No.3
Vaughan Williams - Job – A Masque for Dancing
Vaughan Williams was a composer whose soul was ablaze with glory, pity and anger. His ballet based on the engravings of William Blake is radiant and incandescent and life-affirming, and one of his very greatest works.
The world’s greatest exponent of Vaughan Williams’ music, Sir Andrew Davis, was one of the most distinguished conductors of our time. After the sad news of Sir Andrew Davis’ passing in April, this concert will be dedicated to the legacy of the late conductor. We welcome back acclaimed German conductor, Karl-Heinz Steffens, himself an admirer of Sir Andrew’s stellar career, to the podium.
The concert opens with two pieces by Beethoven at his most heroic and dramatic, with the outstanding pianist Ingrid Fliter making a welcome return.
