Prodigiously gifted young Israeli conductor Lahav Shani makes his Hallé debut alongside a Hallé favourite, Sofya Gulyak. She is soloist in Rachmaninov’s evocative Second Piano Concerto. It opens with bell-like tolling that heralds a succession of sweeping and very Russian melodies, the piano writing breathtakingly virtuosic throughout. Shani then conducts Stravinsky’s enchanting and equally melodious Firebird Suite. This musical version of a Russian fairy tale begins in darkness and ends in great triumph and jubilation.
*Programme change: Fantasy Overture: Romeo and Juliet replaces the previously advertised work, En Saga by Sibelius.
