Symphonic pictures with Sir Simon Rattle
In this concert, Simon Rattle guides us through a gallery of symphonic pictures: a delicate scene from antiquity in Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune; colourful, fairy-tale illustrations in Dvořák’s Golden Spinning Wheel, and an Expressionist drama in Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht. The concert closes in the portrait gallery with Elgar’s Enigma Variations, a series of highly original and affectionate portrayals of the composer’s friends.
