Following their award-winning Beethoven symphony cycle in 2005, Gianandrea Noseda and the BBC Philharmonic return this season with the Pastoral Symphony - the picturesque, nature-celebrating companion to the notoriously strife-torn, tempestuous Fifth Symphony, composed at the same time.
The
brilliant young Dutch violinist Janine Jansen makes her first Manchester season appearance with the BBC Philharmonic, playing one of the most lyrical and best-loved concertos in the repertoire - whose rustic finale echoes the folk colour of Beethoven’s Pastoral. Dallapiccola’s haunting Piccola musica notturna (‘Little Night Music’) - based on a poem which describes a deserted village square - offers a darker, more shadowy view of the outdoors compared to Beethoven’s idyllic vision, and also picks up on the heartfelt streak of isolation in the heartfelt second movement of Tchaikovsky’s concerto.

Saturday 29th September 7.30pm • £9, £12, £17, £21, £25, £31 (concessions available to Friends of the BBC Philharmonic, students, people under 26, claimants, senior citizens and disabled patrons)
