Modest Mussorgsky (orch. Henry Wood): Pictures at an Exhibition
Paul Lewis (piano)
City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra
Kazuki Yamada (conductor)
The pictures Modest Mussorgsky saw at an exhibition in 1874 were fantastical and surreal β uniting objects and animals, poetic atmosphere and architectural precision. The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestraβs Prom under Kazuki Yamada presents a rare opportunity to hear the music those images inspired in Mussorgsky in the picturesque orchestration by Proms founder-conductor Henry Wood, which pre-dates Ravelβs by seven years. Ravel fans can revel in the enchanted world of his fairy-tale ballet Mother Goose. In addition, thereβs Mozartβs probing final piano concerto and a welcome outing for Augusta HolmeΜsβs hypnotic interlude βLa nuit et lβamourβ.
