Nicola Benedetti Plays Elgar
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Superstar violinist Nicola Benedetti joins the Philharmonia Orchestra in Elgar’s tempestuous and tender Violin Concerto.
Benedetti is one of the best-loved violin soloists of our time, and a regular and popular collaborator with the Philharmonia.
Her chart-topping recording of this formidable work was praised for ‘a sure sense of direction and lots of heart’ (The Guardian) – an accurate description of Benedetti’s approach to everything she does.
Debussy’s La Mer was inspired by the paintings of Turner and Hokusai, and of course the sea itself – ‘my old friend, the sea… always endless and beautiful.’
In three evocative movements the composer described as ‘symphonic sketches’, the orchestra, with added sparkle from harps and percussion, conjures up the movement of wind and waves.
To complete this programme full of poetry and invention, conductor Cristian Măcelaru has chosen the suite from Cécile Chaminade’s 1888 ballet Callirhoë. It’s a beguiling introduction to her music for the Philharmonia’s players and listeners alike.
