Heard most recently at the Proms in 2012, Sir Simon Rattle and the Berliner Philharmoniker return for the first of their two concerts this summer. An all-Russian programme inspired by dance opens with Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances – the composer’s blazing ‘final spark’ and, for many, his finest orchestral work. Embracing jazz, plainchant and the waltz, this mercurial piece is a showcase of dramatic skill. After the interval we enter the Russian fairy-tale world of Stravinsky’s The Firebird, the vivid, folk-infused ballet score for Diaghilev’s Ballet Russes that established the young composer as a rising star.
Seats £18 to £68 (plus booking fee).
