Passionately troubled: BBC Symphony Orchestra and Dausgaard in Nielsen, Prokofiev and Bloch

Chris Garlick, 22nd February

Whoever curated last night’s BBC SO concert, conducted by Thomas Dausgaard, needs a medal. Not only were the pieces united by virtue of being composed at the same time during the dark years of the First World War, but also each composer seems to find something passionately troubled to say which reflected their vintage – an unusual combination of neglected works, two of which are masterpieces.
