Programme

Concert Information

There is a reason why they call Saint-Saëns’s Third the ‘Organ’ Symphony and when The Bridgewater Hall organ raises the roof at the end of tonight’s concert under the baton of Conductor Laureate Gianandrea Noseda, you’ll understand why. It’s the grandest possible finish to an evening of romantic adventures, as Ludwig van Beethoven waves a cheerful farewell to the 18th century with his glorious Eighth Symphony and Franz Liszt pushes the piano to its absolute limits in his fiery, outrageously over-the-top Second Piano Concerto. It will pose no problem for the energetic Jean-Efflam Bavouzet, whose collaborations with Noseda have drawn considerable critical acclaim.

Preview, 6.30pm:

Conductor Laureate Gianandrea Noseda and Jean-Efflam Bavouzet join Â鶹ÊÓƵAV Philharmonic General Manager Simon Webb to discuss their collaborations.

Journey Through Music, 6.30pm:
