Symphony No. 2

A trio of uplifting, joyous works forms this afternoon’s concert conducted by Juraj Valcuha. Rossini's much-loved and furiously paced overture to his opera William Tell leads perfectly into Mozart’s sparkling piano concerto featuring the outstanding Argentinian pianist Ingrid Fliter making her London 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'.
