A first for the BPO, as our Patron, Peter Donohoe, joins us to perform Ravel’s virtuoso concerto, which is by turns dramatic and witty, but has more than a hint of the supernatural about it. Strauss’suite contains the highlights of his most famous opera, and Rachmaninov’s final symphony shows that his creativity continued right up to the end.

R Strauss: Der Rosenkavalier - Suite (33’)
Ravel: Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (19’)
Rachmaninov: Symphony No 3 in A minor (37’)

Conductor: Michael Lloyd
Solo Piano: Peter Donohoe
