Pre-concert talk in The Forge

Bartok's early symphonic poem, based on the life of a Hungarian national hero, shows his early admiration for Richard Strauss. However, the clean, modern lines of his First Piano Concerto were a reaction to that late romantic style. The concerto marries precision and control with the exhilarating abandon of folk song. The Miraculous Mandarin is quite simply one of the most inventive and ingenious scores of the twentieth century. If you have only heard the Suite, you have missed many of the most outstanding passages of this exotic and elemental work, including the use of a wordless chorus for additional instrumental colour.

"This riveting performance is further evidence that there is no better orchestra or musician working in Britain today than the Philharmonia and Salonen." The Guardian, February 2009
