| Description: | Ravel Le Tombeau du Couperin Tan Dun Double Bass Concerto (UK premiere Co-commission by Liverpool Philharmonic with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra) Hindemith Concerto for Orchestra Shostakovich Symphony No.9 Expect the unexpected. The Soviet authorities wanted Shostakovich’s Ninth to be a blockbuster epic, but instead they got a brilliantly entertaining mini-masterpiece with a wicked sense of humour. We expect double basses to seen and hardly heard, but tonight the Orchestra’s own Marcel Becker stars in the UK premiere of a new concerto by Tan Dun, the world-famous composer of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. And the dynamic young conductor Darrell Ang has roots in the Far East – but trained in the great Russian tradition. Add Ravel’s graceful mock-baroque miniatures and Hindemith’s supercharged Concerto for Orchestra, and his Liverpool debut looks set to be one of the real talking-points of our season. |
