Sir Simon Rattle and the BRSO

Here in Liverpool, we take pride in our people, and tonight the world-famous Liverpudlian conductor Sir Simon Rattle returns home with a very special concert indeed. He brings his new orchestra – the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra – from Munich to the Hall almost 50 years to the day since they last visited, when the young Simon himself was here in the audience. They’re ranked as one of the world’s finest ensembles, and tonight they perform the feast that is Schumann’s Second Symphony, followed by Stravinsky’s complete ballet music for The Firebird.
