Lyricism and Drama at Bristol Beacon
About this event
Experience a dramatic evening of symphonic lyricism with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra at Bristol Beacon on Thursday 29 April. Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth leads this epic concert, featuring soloist Sunwook Kim who performs Brahms Second Piano Concerto. On the completion of his mature Second Piano Concerto, Brahms announced his "ever so tiny piano concerto with an ever so tiny and dainty scherzo." Its four movements combine to create one of the grandest piano concertos of the 19th century, with the music expressing a Classical lyricism and Romantic sense of drama in perfect harmony with each other. In a melange of foxtrots and waltzes, sometimes flirtatiously raunchy, sometimes delicate and mysterious, Adès elegantly combines his own personal style and clever instrumentation with characteristic features from cabaret, tango, and popular music. The suite, using music from his opera on the scandal surrounding Sixties socialite, Margaret Campbell, is rich, playful, dramatic, and expressive.
