Denève conducts a popular and varied programme to bring the Season to a rousing conclusion. The evening opens with Prokofiev’s exotic, raucous and hedonistic The Love for Three Oranges. Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations, an elegant homage to Mozart, will draw a wide range of timbres and sounds from the cello of Grammy-nominated soloist Sol Gabetta. Premiered on the same day in 1877 as Tchaikovsky’s Variations, Brahms’ Second is a most beautiful symphony; gentle, pastoral, cheerful and confident.
