Michael Tippett told listeners to think of the start of his First Symphony as an arrow. It certainly flies bold and true – a controlled explosion of energy and optimism, written during the darkest days of World War II by a visionary with his eyes fixed hopefully on the future. It’s the natural starting point for Martyn Brabbins’s two-year exploration of Tippett’s symphonies, and he’s paired it with music by two more great innovators. Ravel’s Piano Concerto fuses jazz, Basque folk-song and French impressionism into one fizzing little package; Jean-Efflam Bavouzet might be its most brilliant living interpreter. Haydn’s ‘Le Matin’, meanwhile, begins with a cheerful sunrise: music of new beginnings.
