Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra

Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun

Book tickets

Debussy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune
Prokofiev Violin Concerto No.2
Beethoven Symphony No.7

Maxim Emelyanychev conductor
Aylen Pritchin violin

“I am the new Bacchus, pressing out wine for the human spirit” declared Ludwig van Beethoven, and this is a concert designed to go straight to the head. Debussy’s Prélude conjures a dreamworld of perfumes and colours, while Prokofiev’s Second Violin Concerto sings and dances in the Spanish sun – especially when played by the marvellous Aylen Pritchin. And then Russian dynamo Maxim Emelyanychev unleashes Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony: forty minutes of great tunes, driving rhythms and raw, heartpounding thrills.

‘...dynamic, energetic and exciting to watch, exhilarating for musicians and audience alike’
 The Guardian on conductor Maxim Emelyanychev
