Ben Gernon (conductor)
Distilled from his opera The Nightingale, Stravinsky's symphonic poem tells Hans Christian Anderson's breathtakingly poignant and beautiful story; only the freely given song of the real nightingale - not the gold and jewel encrusted man-made fake bird with its mechanical waltzes and adoring courtiers - has the power to bring back an Emperor from the clutches of Death. Carolin Widmann is the soloist in the world premiere of Philip Grange's Violin Concerto, a 成人快手 commission which alludes to the natural world in its exploration of relationships between individuals and groups. Tchaikovsky's First Symphony, which ends the programme, is infused with haunting Russian melody. He gives evocative titles to the first two movements "Daydreams on a winter journey" for the first and "Land of gloom, land of mists" for the second. Mendelssohnian charm characterises the third while the Finale gives us hints of the majesty and grandeur of the symphonies that were to follow.
