Kirill Gerstein
piano



One of the great windfalls of classical music, the prestigious, valuable and happily maverick Gilmore Award is given every four years to a pianist who has no idea that he or she is in the running for it. Past recipients have included Leif Ove Andsnes and Piotr Anderszewski.

In 2010 it fell into the unsuspecting lap of Kirill Gerstein, acknowledging him as a musician who combines high calibre with curiosity and imagination. Born in Russia, he began his studies as a jazz pianist but switched to classical and contemporary. His programme here reflects wide-ranging interests, with a piece by Oliver Knussen that lays to rest an idée fixe of the composer’s scores through the past three decades.


J.S Bach : English Suite No. 6 in D minor BWV811
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart : Gigue, Bolero and Variations
Oliver Knussen : Ophelia’s Last Dance
Carl Maria von Weber : Invitation to the Dance: rondo brillant in Db
Franz Liszt : Soirées de Vienna No. 6 from Valses caprices d’après Schubert S427

Louis Lortie
piano



Known to Wigmore audiences for a memorable Beethoven sonata cycle and to CD collectors for a sparkling exploration of Ravel’s complete piano music, Louis Lortie doesn’t do things by halves.

His enthusiasm for the work of Thomas Adès has been similarly probing, thorough, and persistent. Recently he gave the German première of Adès’s piano quintet. In this concert he plays an Adès score from the mid-90s inspired by the idea of angels rising heavenwards in shafts of light.

Robert Hollingworth conductor
BBC Singers
Sinfonye


Medieval and modern, mystical and material all collide in this concert which has as its focus songs by the 11th century German Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, performed both in their original versions and as re-imagined by Stevie Wishart. Completing the programme, two modern works which also have their roots in the medieval world – Britten's cycle wittily juxtaposes sacred and secular lyrics and is one of his last works, while Sir Harrison Birtwistle's setting takes words from a source that was to become a well-spring of inspiration in his later career – the legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight – and is one of his earliest published pieces.



Hildegard of Bingen : Symphonia armonie celestium revelationum
Benjamin Britten : Sacred and Profane
Harrison Birtwistle : Narration: a Description of the Passing of a Year
Wishart Stevie : Out of This World (BBC Commission)

City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Andris Nelsons conductor
Baiba Skride violin



The Soviet censors called it an ‘optimistic tragedy’. Shostakovich simply called it his Tenth Symphony. Dark, impassioned, packed with secret messages and featuring a terrifying musical portrait of Stalin himself, Shostakovich’s Tenth is one of the most powerful of all twentieth-century symphonies. Andris Nelsons’s first Birmingham performance of this modern masterpiece will be keenly awaited – and the young Latvian violinist Baiba Skride is fast becoming a Birmingham favourite too. Sofia Gubaidulina’s Bach-inspired Concerto, written in defiance of Soviet oppression, makes a wonderfully apt prelude to Shostakovich’s epic drama.



Sofia Gubaidulina : Violin Concerto (Offertorium)
Dmitri Shostakovich : Symphony No 10
