Awake with the Morning

Carlo Goldstein conducts the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic in a rare performance of Ben-Haim's Second Symphony.

From Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney

Carlo Goldstein brings music by Paul Ben-Haim to the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic in tonight's concert. A musical pioneer in Israel Paul Ben-Haim had moved from Germany, leaving behind a successful career due to persecution of the Jewish community. Completed in October 1945 this full-scale and wide-ranging music contains music from Persia, and is also inspired by folk music from Israel. Words by Israeli poet Shin Shalom appear as an epigraph to the score, "Awake with the morning, O my soul, on the summit of Carmel over the sea". The programme opens with Liszt's dazzling "Les pr茅ludes", an early tone poem, and a work that marked an exciting new direction in orchestral music. Stephen Hough joins the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic for Saint-Sa毛ns's Fourth Piano Concerto, a engaging mix of memorable melody and innovation.
