One of four concerts in the 2011 Piano Season at De Montfort Hall.
A trio of uplifting, joyous works forms this evening's concert conducted by Juraj Valcuha. Rossini’s famously exciting William Tell Overture leads perfectly into Mozart’s sparkling piano concerto featuring Ingrid Fliter making her début with the Philharmonia!. Concluding the programme, Brahms’s Second Symphony was nicknamed the Pastoral, mirroring Beethoven’s famous work of the same name, and moves from a pastoral idyll through moments of Brahms’s typical drama before ending with a finale that, in the words of musicologist Reinhold Brinkmann, “hardly stops to think”.
