Le Tombeau de Couperin

Symphony No. 14, Op. 135

Approved

For this live broadcast from St Magnus International Festival and completing its residency, the BBC SSO bring a richly varied programme of music from the twentieth century. Ives' iconic and atmospheric work displaces the musicians around the cathedral to pose the “ultimate question of existence” whilst Ravel’s dazzling orchestration of his earlier piano work conjures up memories of friends lost in battle in WWI. The final work brings together the voices of Valentine and Leiferkus in the dark and haunting reflections on the subject of death in one of Shostakovich’s most powerful works setting the poets Rilke, Lorca and Apollinaire. Thomas Dausgaard, one of the world’s most renowned conductors, directs the BBC SSO in what promises to be an intense and moving event.

This concert will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 3.

Please note change of soprano soloist.
