Guest conductor Paul Hoskins returns to KSO in a performance of Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements (1942-45).

Making use of music from aborted film projects and recalling The Rite of Spring, it was the first work written by Stravinsky emigrating to America. It was premièred by the New York Philharmonic in 1946 under Stravinsky, who described the turbulent piece as a response to the Second World War.

The orchestra also performs Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder (1901-02). Written at the same time as the composer’s Symphony No.5, these five songs for voice and orchestra mark a departure from his childlike, often satirical Wunderhorn settings and a move towards a more lyrical style.

Lili Boulanger’s D’un matin de printemps (1917-18) was completed two months before the composer’s tragic death, aged just 24. Like much French music of the time, the piece employs vibrant winds and lush strings, exploring colour and texture to create an alternately energetic and dreamlike effect.

The programme opens with Dohnányi’s Symphonic Minutes (1933) – five short movements that comprise one of the Hungarian composer’s most popular works. A light, amiable piece with a French flavour, it has been described as witty but also wild; a work that “frolics in one place, is capricious in another and pure song elsewhere”.
