Mariss Jansons | Direction |
Orchestre symphonique de la Radio bavaroise |
Innocence and experience: a Russian programme highlights the peerless sound of Mariss Jansons and his Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra.
Prokofiev’s Classical symphony goes off like a bottle-rocket; Shostakovich’s youthful First is a little more knowing. And Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances just ache with nostalgia. A dream programme from a conductor of unsurpassed experience and an orchestra whose sound simply glows.
To those in the know, Jansons’ partnership with the BRSO is one of the most transcendent conductor-orchestra pairings of our time. But you definitely don’t need to be an expert to get the most out of this richly enjoyable concert: three pieces that speak from the heart, performed by artists who fill every note they play with warm, urgent life.
