Sol Gabetta plays Elgar

Eloquent Elgar and searing Sibelius from Stasevska and Gabetta

Alexander Hall, 21st October

A concerto and a symphony both in the key of E minor make an interesting pairing in this BBC Symphony Orchestra concert, whereas the phantasmagoria of stage lighting and two new works add very little.
