Three compelling works fired by high-octane energy, intense emotions and blistering impact conjure a life with too little gravity and a life with too much to invigorating dramatic effect.

‘A conductor whose renown is sure to grow’ (The Plain Dealer), Gemma New leads the National Symphony Orchestra in three works by three very different composers that stress intensity and immediacy.

Hailed for his ‘unclassifiable, raw-nerve music of huge energy and imagination’ (The Guardian), Ed Bennett’s Freefalling is an exhilarating, propulsive, explosive work inspired by Felix Baumgartner's 2012 world-record freefall. It revels in Bennett’s ‘anarchic’ (Irish Times) and ‘thrilling’ (Gramophone) signature with hammering cymbals, drums, brass and strings.

Multiple prize-winner at the 2018 Dublin International Piano Competition, Eoín Fleming tackles one of the truly big beasts of the repertoire: Beethoven’s Fifth Piano Concerto. Written in a Vienna under bombardment by Napoleon, it is cast on the grandest of scales fully deserving of its nickname, Emperor. Driven along by enormous surges of energy and punctuated by blissful moments of repose, its athletic piano line and the massed, muscular instrumental forces of the orchestra excite and provoke each other to heights of musical imagination never before realised.

Tchaikovsky rightly considered his Fourth Symphony one of his best creations. Describing ‘that fateful force which prevents the impulse to happiness from entirely achieving its goal’, it wears its debt to Beethoven lightly and boasts an achingly beautiful melody in its second movement that lights up the darkness from within with luminous, irresistible fervour, and a finale that concludes in a triumphant blaze of colour and volume.
