Concert information
Info
Kirill Petrenko conducts a programme filled with evocative landscapes: Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, the “Pastoral”, is a tribute to country life incorporating a wide panorama of human emotion. Mendelssohn’s Hebrides Overture transports us to Scotland and the legendary Fingal’s Cave. Norway’s landscapes are conjured in Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto, for which Leif Ove Andsnes is the soloist. With its echoes of Nordic folk tradition, the piece includes solo passages which suggest the presence of trolls and elves.

Background
It doesn’t get more modern than this
Why Beethoven matters more than ever
Beethoven was not just a revolutionary composer, but also a far-sighted thinker – independent, deeply suspicious of authority, and profoundly humanistic. His uncompromising attitude in both his life and in his music, together with his belief in freedom and in self-determination, continue to make him feel strikingly contemporary.
