The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic and Ilan Volkov bring a programme of rich melody and entrancing colour from the Victoria Hall to brighten a February evening. Delightful miniatures from Ravel's ballet 'Mother Goose' open the programme; we meet Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and Beast, Tom Thumb, the Empress of the Pagodas and end our visit to Ravel's magical world in a Fairy Garden, each piece conjured up in spectacular orchestral colours. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Philharmonic is joined by cellist Guy Johnston for Tchaikovsky's sparkling Rococo Variations before the orchestra launches into Rachmaninov's passionate Second Symphony, a trail of memorable melodies and rich textures.
