More Please: Ashkenazy, Tsujii and Philharmonia Orchestra in Bristol

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 29th May

On a stiflingly hot evening, a packed Colston Hall was met with an energetic conductor, Vladimir Ashkenazy, springing to the middle of the stage. Before the audience hushed, Berlioz’s Overture to Béatrice et Bénédict swirled around the room. Light-hearted, breezy and full of optimism, it made a great opening piece to the night’s programme.
