John Tavener Kaleidoscopes (world premiere tour)


John Tavener’s music has an iconic quality that appeals across boundaries of musical knowledge and spiritual belief. His theatrical oboe concerto, written for Britten Sinfonia and Nicholas Daniel, is a musical mosaic, featuring four string quartets and percussion. Tavener’s two greatest musical heroes open the programme: Tchaikovsky said that his deeply romantic homage to Mozart was composed ‘straight from the heart’.

‘Some of the best oboe playing you'll hear anywhere.’ BBC Record Review
