Dvorak, Rebecca Saunders
Lionel Bringuier conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican, London. Dvorak: Carnival Overture. Rebecca Saunders: Still - Violin Concerto (soloist: Carolin Widmann).
Live from the Barbican, London.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
Young French conductor Lionel Bringuier conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra and violinist Carolin Widmann in the UK Premiere of 'Still' by Rebecca Saunders, after Dvorak's ever-popular Carnival Overture. Tchaikovsky's melodic 5th Symphony completes the programme.
Dvorák's burst of uninhibited joy launches this concert, and Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony ends in triumph too, though only after a doleful beginning and many travails as the composer explores the theme of fate. Heard alongside this full-throated affirmation, the exploratory, minutely detailed art of Rebecca Saunders will make a startling and thought-provoking contrast. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Symphony Orchestra is conducted by the 25-year-old hot-shot Lionel Bringuier, who is fast making a reputation as a star of the future.
