Andris Nelsons and the CBSO come
to Sage Gateshead for music of beauty
both sumptuous and raw. Richard
Strauss’s late songs shot through with
tearful resignation, a resigned goodbye
to the world, are heard after his rollicking
rollercoaster ride ‘Don Juan’ from 60
years earlier. They finish with Stravinsky’s
‘Petrushka’ – a playful yet disturbing
score in which the composer returned
to his roots, depicting Russia with, in
his own words, “quick tempos, major
keys, smells of Russian food, sweat and
glistening leather boots.”
With a pre-concert talk.
Buses from Alnwick and Hexham.
Tickets: £13-£36
