Mozart Overture, The Marriage of Figaro
Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2
Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5
Kristiina Poska conductor
Clare Hammond piano
We’re thrilled to welcome back conductor Kristiina Poska, who leads the Orchestra through the fast-sweeping overture of Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro, setting today's concert off at quite a pace, before perhaps the most romantic of all concertos slows us back down a little. It was only after pioneering hypnotherapy that Rachmaninov was able to conquer his writer’s block to compose his extraordinary Second Piano Concerto, given a rigorous and stylish performance today by Clare Hammond. The struggle with, and ultimate submission to, destiny also lies at the heart of Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony, a work of great emotional power.
