Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun

Debussy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (10')
Prokofiev Violin Concerto No.2 (26')
- INTERVAL - (20')
Beethoven Symphony No.7 (36')

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
