Work: Spring Symphony for soloists, mixed choir, children's choir and orchestra, Op.44

There was a tingle to this concert, as if musicians and audience alike saw clearly for the first time what riches lie ahead.

Fingers and bows fluttered through dance-like figures and virtuosic passages packed with trills with astonishing clarity and brilliance.

Britten's Spring Symphony and Ryan Wigglesworth's Locke's Theatre join with Rudolf Buchbinder's thrilling account of Rachmaninov's Rhapsody, all conducted, at short notice, by Brett Mitchell, Franz Welser-Möst's assistant.
