Haydn, Hummel and Ravel performed with confidence by the BBC Symphony Orchestra

Evan Dickerson, 22nd October

Josep Pons strode purposefully onto the Barbican stage to conduct the BBC Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Haydn’s “Clock” Symphony. The first movement opened by way of an Adagio laden with a suitable sense of portent, the layers of writing for the strings being clearly articulated to bring this out.
