A British first half pairs Elgar’s
concert overture, inspired by a
winter holiday on the Italian Riviera,
with the Piano Concerto by Hugh
Wood (80 this year), which sees
him tapping into the live‑wire
personality of tonight’s soloist, for
whom it was written. The all-French second
half reflects new light on Debussy’s masterly
orchestral seascape with two pinnacles of
water-inspired piano music, transformed
for the symphony orchestra. See
‘Lifting the Veil on Debussy’,
