Piano Concerto No. 4 in G*
Our players love working with Imogen and it shows.
A rare rapport between orchestra and soloist is achieved through detailed
rehearsal and plenty of communication. Following last year's acclaimed
performances of Beethoven's first two keyboard concertos, our Beethoven
concerto cycle moves on to the tranquil and serene fourth; the audience
is almost eavesdropping on a private conversation between piano and orchestra.
In the
words of Prokofiev, his 'Classical' Symphony offers us an intriguing vision
of a symphony 'as Haydn might have written it, had he lived in our day'.
Completing
this programme is Sir Harrison Birtwistle's Bach Measures for
chamber ensemble, a tribute to the great baroque composer, whose Christmas
chorale 'In dir ist Freude' is reworked in Birtwistle's unique style.
‘A
good deal of eye contact seemed to be the secret behind the outstanding
quality of the Sinfonia's performance. With the orchestra playing like
a true chamber ensemble, displaying a unanimity of purpose blended sound
and breadth of tone you don't often hear even under the best of conductors.'
