Afternoon Performance: Stravinsky and the piano…
City Halls
Glasgow
Scotland

Tickets: £7.00-£9.00
Steven Osborne piano
Ilan Volkov conductor
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra



The BBC SSO and Principal Guest Conductor Ilan Volkov have a glowing reputation for their interpretations of music by Stravinsky; they conclude this short season of Afternoon Performance concerts with an all Stravinsky programme. Leading Scottish pianist Steven Osborne gives a rare performance of Capriccio, the piano concerto which Stravinsky wrote for himself to play. The bubbling, rhythmic energy of the Concerto for piano and wind contrasts well with Stravinsky's orchestration of a waltz by Chopin, and the programme also includes the composer's neo-classical string concerto.



Igor Stravinsky : Song of the Volga Boatmen
Igor Stravinsky : Concerto in D for string orchestra
Igor Stravinsky : Capriccio for piano and orchestra
Igor Stravinsky : Grande valse brillante op.18
Igor Stravinsky : Movements for piano and orchestra
Igor Stravinsky : Concerto for piano and wind instruments

Nicholas Collon conductor
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra



As part of the 75th birthday celebrations for Philip Glass, the BBC SSO gives the UK Premiere of the composer's Sixth Symphony, an impassioned setting of Allen Ginsberg's protest poem, Plutonian Ode, an outcry against nuclear contamination and pollution. The symphony follows an arc from outrage and condemnation to spiritual and personal transformation. Conducted by Nicholas Collon, Principal Conductor of the Aurora Orchestra, it is preceded by Richard Strauss's epic tone-poem of decay and rebirth, Death and Transfiguration.



Edward Elgar : Sospiri - for harp and string orchestra
Richard Strauss : Tod und Verklärung (Death and Transfiguration)
Philip Glass : Symphony No.6 ‘Plutonian Ode'

The New Century: Webern & Berg
City Halls
Glasgow
Scotland

Ilya Gringolts violin
Nicolas Hodges piano
Ilan Volkov conductor
BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra



"The best music always results from ecstasies of logic," said Alban Berg. But he proved, time and again, that the music of the Second Viennese School could do infinitely more than that. Ilan Volkov conducts as violinist Ilya Gringolts and Nicolas Hodges - arguably the finest living champion of contemporary piano music - join 13 hand - picked BBC SSO players on the impassioned pilgrimage of Berg's extraordinary Chamber Concerto. First, though, the full orchestra explores
the ravishing, crystalline sound-world of Webern's Six Orchestral Pieces - music that Stravinsky compared to diamonds - and lays bare the sensuous and deeply romantic roots of Webern's creative vision in the exquisite Im Sommerwind.



Anton Webern : Im Sommerwind: Idyll for orchestra
Anton Webern : 6 pieces for large orchestra
Alban Berg : Chamber Concerto for piano, violin and thirteen wind instruments
