LET'S FACE THE MUSIC ...    

Bach orch. Webern  The Musical Offering: Ricercar
Brahms  Violin Concerto in D
Webern  Five pieces, Op.10     
Beethoven  Symphony No.5 in C minor

Mark Elder  conductor  
Viktoria Mullova  violin

'Not only an astounding violinist and probingly individual musician but an unsurpassed communicator, the music leaping out at you' (The Daily Telegraph). After the fantastic reception she received from the Thursday Series audience performing Bartók, Viktoria Mullova returns to play Brahms's marvellously poetic and dramatic concerto with its Hungarian gipsy-dance finale. Webern's five tiny masterpieces open a window onto a world of fascinating, fragile orchestral colours and sonorities, in the same startlingly original way as his arrangement of Bach's Ricercar. Beethoven's Fifth Symphony remains unsurpassed in the musical world's imagination and affection. 'How big and wild it is! Enough to bring the house down around one's ears,' wrote Goethe.
