I saw them perform this program to close out their regular season in Philadelphia last month. The Muhly piece is exciting. I liked it very much. And Batiashvili and the Orchestra work great together in the Shostakovich concerto. As far as the Rachmaninoff, I wouldn't call it one of my favorite pieces, but what other orchestra would you rather hear perform it? Rach wrote the piece for the Philadelphians and recorded it with them as conductor. And Nezet-Seguin isn't shy about pushing for the traditional Philadelphia Sound when they are performing Russian romantic music.

I have to say, I'd rather hear them perform the program at the Concertgebouw! I hope you enjoy it. I was there for a couple concerts in 2000 and 2001. I still remember the experiences fondly.

I'm in London again in just under 3 weeks.
http://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whatson/philharmonia-25062015-80680?dt=2015-06-25

Carl Maria Von Weber: Overture, Der Freischütz
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4
Interval
Johannes Brahms: Symphony No.2

Two landmark works by two of Germany's most acclaimed composers.

Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 was the last of his concertos to be performed by him and debuted alongside his Fifth and Sixth symphonies in a gargantuan concert in 1808.

When working on his sublime Second Symphony, Brahms wrote contentedly to a friend - 'The melodies flow so freely that one must be careful not to tread on them.'

Performers
Philharmonia Orchestra
Yuri Temirkanov conductor
Nikolai Lugansky piano

Tickets from £9. Unusually there are plenty left.

This will be a great concert!

Next Concert is in London. I'll be travelling down by train in the morning. Probably wandering around the shops and/or the National Gallery in the afternoon and getting to the Southbank for the pre-concert free chamber music concert (Brahms quintet) by the Philharmonia players. Staying overnight and then train home in the morning.

PHILHARMONIA ORCHESTRA
Temirkanov conducts Brahms Symphony No. 2 & Beethoven piano concerto 4
Soloist, Nikolai Lugansky

Carl Maria Von Weber: Overture, Der Freischütz
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No.4
Johannes Brahms: Symphony No.2

<3 The Philharmonia, <3 Temirkanov <3 Lugansky and <3 <3 The programme. Great end to the season!!

Unusually there are quite a few tickets remaining.
What else is there to do on a (probably) wet Thursday evening in London?

I like the look of this one

http://www.liverpoolphil.com/16736/events-classical-music/petrenkos-shostakovich.html

TWO Shostakovich piano concertos, Prokofiev Classical Symphony and Khachaturian Gayane Suite No.3 which I first heard live a couple of years ago and immediately fell in love with.
It's a great programme!! I've never heard Boris Giltburg play but I've heard a lot of good things about him.
Booking opens next week. I might be tempted. It's an afternoon concert, meaning I could travel to Liverpool and back the same day.
Crazy not to :)

I just received a link for the Staunton Music Festival. My wife and I attended it last year and it was awesome. We will not be able to attend this year because we will be visiting our son in California.

The reason we like this festival is because they preform everything for HIP performances to contemporary. Their even doing a performance of 433!!!! Check out concert on August 20th.
