Mariss Jansons conducts the BRSO

Innocence and experience: a Russian programme highlights the peerless sound of Mariss Jansons and his Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.

Prokofiev’s Classical symphony goes off like a bottle-rocket; Shostakovich’s youthful First is a little more knowing. And Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances just ache with nostalgia. A dream programme from a conductor of unsurpassed experience and an orchestra whose sound simply glows.

To those in the know, Jansons’ partnership with the BRSO is one of the most transcendent conductor-orchestra pairings of our time. But you definitely don’t need to be an expert to get the most out of this richly enjoyable concert: three pieces that speak from the heart, performed by artists who fill every note they play with warm, urgent life. 

 

Tickets £15–55 plus booking fee. £3 booking fee per online transaction, £4 by phone.
