A sultry flute, a shower of sparks, a flash of light and a sensuous, sumptuous wave of pure emotion. In the years before World War One, Debussy and Stravinsky transformed the way we listen: inventing musical colours that dazzled, startled and seduced. Debussy’s ravishing Prélude and Stravinsky’s Firebird open and close a concert filled with fantastic stories and sounds. Take Lotta Wennäkoski’s new violin concerto Prosoidia, for example. The composer imagines music as a wordless conversation – and if any violinist can make it talk, it’s the phenomenal Ilya Gringolts. Roderick Cox conducts, and shares another work that speaks more potently than any words: Grazhyna, a musical tale of courage and struggle from Ukraine’s greatest 20th century composer, Boris Lyatoshinsky.
