成人快手

The 成人快手 Philharmonic is joined by conductor Joshua Weilerstein for a programme bookended by gripping symphonies; we open with Haydn's Symphony No.100 (Military), the title a nod towards the unusual addition of percussion, and we end with Mozart's roller-coaster final symphony, No. 41 (Jupiter).

The UK Premiere of a 成人快手 commission, Katherine Balch's "whisper concerto", is at the centre of the programme. A rising composition star, her spellbinding music reaches a wide range of audiences, praised for its sense of discovery and lyricism. Her own unique orchestral sound-world sings through this piece (she describes her composition studio as a "place for play and discovery") as does the musical voice of cellist Zlatomir Fung, the youngest musician ever to win First Prize at the International Tchaikovsky Competition.

Recorded at the Bridgewater Hall last week.
