Approved

Two startling young talents come together for an evening of stirring, soulful, surprising music in which vibrant colour and searing drama is all.

Joshua Weilerstein, ‘one of the most promising podium presences of his generation’ (LA Times) leads the National Symphony Orchestra in Florence Price’s stirring Ethiopia’s Shadow in America and Rachmaninov’s kaleidoscopic Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini.

Martin James Bartlett, ‘a prodigy of the piano [and] accomplished artist who counts among the greats of his generation’ (Nice Matin) – joins them for Schoenberg’s exhilarating orchestration of Brahms’s First Piano Quartet.

Newly re-discovered in recent years, Florence Price is now reclaiming her place as one of the most versatile and accomplished American composers of her generation. Her ambitious Ethiopia’s Shadow in America movingly depicts the experience of enslaved Africans in the New World.

A single-movement piano concerto in all but name, Rachmaninov’s ravishing Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini moves through 24 colourful variations on a theme by the legendary virtuoso violinist, Niccolò Paganini, in music that showcases orchestra and piano in music of luxuriant melodies, dazzling contrasts, resounding poetry and soaring emotions woven together with hypnotically beautiful melodies.

Caught between tradition and innovation, Brahms was a leading figure of the Romantic era. His music, radiant and relaxed, intense and invigorating was a gift to the arch-modernist Schoenberg, whose orchestral arrangement of the G minor Piano Quartet gives full rein to its pushing at the boundaries of chamber music, its architectural grandeur and the exhilarating gypsy fervour of its finale.
