ELGAR Cockaigne Overture Op.40
BRAHMS Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor, Op. 15
RACHMANINOV Symphony No. 1 in D minor, Op. 13
John Andrews – conductor
Mikhail Shilyaev – piano
For its second concert of the season, Trinity Orchestra is once again delighted to be performing under John Andrews in a varied programme of English, German and Russian works.
The concert opens with Edward Elgar’s famous imaginative depiction of a bustling London Town, and is followed by a performance of Brahms‘ sublime First Piano Concerto given by the renowned Russian pianist Mikhail Shilyaev, a former Junior Fellow at the Royal College of Music. Arguably the first of the great tradition of Romantic piano concerti, this work has sometimes, justifiably, been described as a symphony for piano and orchestra because the two bodies are given equal importance.
The final work will be the Symphony No. 1 by Rachmaninov. Despite its poor initial reception the symphony is now seen as a dynamic representation of the Russian symphonic tradition – a powerful work in its own right, influenced by Borodin and Tchaikovsky, but still individual and finely constructed.
Join us for a pre-concert talk at 7pm.
