Concert Information
A programme exploring every facet of the orchestra from Debussy’s exquisitely languorous and erotic ballet Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, Honegger’s invigorating paean to the game of rugby to Elgar’s famous Enigma Variations, in which he so deftly and movingly enshrined the characters of his friends. In between, gifted French violinist Renaud Capuçon gives the UK premiere of Pascal Dusapin’s Violin Concerto, which promises sonic experiment married to emotional directness.
