Hisaishi & Scriabin
Southbank Centre, Royal Festival Hall, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]Explore the dazzling cosmos of Scriabin’s Third Symphony with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Vasily Petrenko.
Some composers think bigger, but it takes a special sort of genius to create a whole new musical universe.
Everything about Scriabin’s Third Symphony is larger than life, from the enormous orchestra to the galactic ambition of Scriabin’s inspiration – music that he described as ‘ecstatic’, ‘drunken’ and even ‘divine’!
If you like Mahler, you’ll love The Divine Poem, and for Vasily Petrenko, it’s a passion – a musical experience that doesn’t come around every day.
It’ll make a thrilling, colourful counterpart to a delightful new work from Joe Hisaishi (My Neighbour Totoro, Spirited Away), starring three solo horns and bursting with all the imagination you’d expect from Studio Ghibli’s house composer – currently the RPO’s Composer-in-Association.
Rachmaninov’s evocative tone poem Isle of the Dead, inspired by a black-and-white reproduction of Arnold Böcklin’s painting, launches an evening full of wonders.
Repertoire
- Rachmaninov: The Isle of the Dead
- Joe Hisaishi: Concerto for 3 horns & orchestra (The Border Concerto) (London premiere)
Interval
- Scriabin: Symphony No.3 in C (The Divine Poem)
