Kazuki Yamada and the CBSO stir up swelling seas with Scheherazade

Klangschön aber letztlich zu kalkuliert, um Emotionen zu wecken – so präsentierte sich das City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra zu Gast im Stefaniensaal.

In Hamburg, Kazuki Yamada and the CBSO navigate the thorny brilliance of Walton’s First Symphony, proving that ‘difficult’ music can offer an evening’s most profound human connection.

The CBSO’s Birmingham’s Town Hall matinee sets forth a curious mix of Baroque, Classical, and modern music, sandwiching a lesser-known concerto between some familiar tunes.

The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra greet an old friend and say farewell to another in a thoroughly absorbing all-Strauss programme.
