RSNO: Prokofiev, Mozart and Strauss with Kazushi Ono and Saleem Abboud Ashkar

Alan Coady, 26th November

“Cinderella” and “ballet” might ordinarily suggest glockenspiel-topped delicacy; not in Prokofiev’s case. His ballet Cinderella, and the selection from it chosen by the RSNO, contains great variety. The Introduction’s darkness hints at the exploitation and neglect which are to be vanquished by love and happiness.
