From its monolithic opening theme
kick-starting a cycle of inexorable
momentum like a giant pendulum,
to the breathless dash of its finale,
Schubert’s Ninth offers one of the most
riveting journeys of any symphonic
work. No wonder it attracted the title
‘Great’. “Write for the cello everything
that your heart tells you” said the great
soloist Mstislav Rostropovich when
asking Britten for a new work. Britten
responded with his remarkable
‘Symphony’ for cello and orchestra,
an inspiring musical journey from
darkness to light.
With a pre-concert talk.
Buses from Alnwick, Hexham and Carlisle.
Tickets: £10-£33
