Sir Mark Elder is more than just one of the world’s most respected conductors; he’s an artist who lives every minute of the music. “He coaxed a gorgeous sound from the musicians of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra” wrote The Times in 2022. And it’s true - Elder has a lifetime’s understanding of what makes an orchestra glow. Under his direction, this sumptuous, gloriously tuneful selection from Tchaikovsky’s greatest ballet score would be a treat in itself, but with Elder there’s always a bigger picture and a colourful rarity by Sibelius is merely the upbeat to Prokofiev’s ferocious Second Piano Concerto. Music from a time of revolution, played by a pianist as fearless as Elder himself.

Prokofiev wrote that his Second Violin Concerto was the product of his ‘nomadic concert-tour existence’, which took him from Paris to Baku, Madrid to Morocco. Despite this, its melodies carry more than a hint of the composer’s homeland of Russia, to which he was about to return, along with tinges of Spain in the finale’s clicking castanets.

Three 20th-century works prominently featuring the oboe. Martinů’s Quartet was composed in New York in 1947. Poulenc’s delightful duo Sonata (1962) was his final work, described by a New York Times critic as ‘a paradoxical mix of the elegiac, the suave and the clever’; the composer dedicated it to the memory of Prokofiev, the material of whose 1924 Quintet largely derives from his ballet, Trapeze.

Trumpets ring out as Shostakovich prepares to cut loose and party. Sergei Prokofiev meets a French violinist and writes a concerto with a Spanish sizzle: music that sings, dances and tingles in the ear. And, exiled from Russia, Sergei Rachmaninov discovers a glittering world of fast cars and big bands – and pours it all into a symphony that still, somehow, yearns and aches for a homeland he would never see again. All music tells a story and tonight, guest conductor Robert Trevino recreates a world of revolution, exile and burning emotions: three very different but equally colourful 20th-century Russian masterpieces, striking sparks off each other. RPO Artist-in-Residence Johan Dalene takes the spotlight in Prokofiev’s vibrant Violin Concerto No.2, the perfect showcase for Gramophone’s 2022 Young Artist of the Year.

Grand Théâtre de Québec

We are thrilled to have been invited back to Belgium, this time to open the new season at deSingel in Antwerp on 18th September and as part of the Flanders Festival Ghent on 19th September. For these two concerts, we will be joined by two artists making their debut with the COE: conductor Valentin Uryupin and Salzburg-born cellist Julia Hagen who is at the beginning of a global career. Together, they will perform Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 1 ‘Classical’, Schumann’s Cello Concerto and Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony No. 1 (arr. Barshai).

De Singel

In the summer of 1917, Sergei Prokofiev played a trick on all those who had previously denounced him as a merciless futurist by composing his first symphony as a homage to Joseph Haydn and giving it the title "Symphonie Classique", "out of high spirits, to annoy the philistines", as he later revealed.

The Swiss composer Frank Martin felt magically attracted by the old language, inspired by Hans Sachs, in Hugo von Hofmannsthal's "Jedermann". For a song cycle, he chose six monologues from the main character in the play to musically trace his psychological and religious development as in a monodrama. Bo Skovhus, one of the most outstanding opera and concert singers of our time, interprets this fascinating work.

Sergey Prokofiev hoped his musical retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet would have ‘immediate appeal yet sound like nothing written before’. Even now, his score delivers on both fronts, showing the composer’s gift for melody and his ability to reconcile his music’s hard edge with a soft, romantic core.

Sergey Prokofiev hoped his musical retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet would have ‘immediate appeal yet sound like nothing written before’. Even now, his score delivers on both fronts, showing the composer’s gift for melody and his ability to reconcile his music’s hard edge with a soft, romantic core. Jaime Martín conducts dramatic highlights from Prokofiev’s ballet score after charismatic Franco-Serbian soloist Nemanja Radulović sets off fireworks in the ultimate Romantic violin concerto. And, to begin, the BBC National Orchestra of Wales unleashes the strident energies of Grażyna Bacewicz’s thrilling Overture, which quotes the famous ‘V for Victory’ motif from Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony.

From their mid-thirties to their early nineties: the four choreographers in Generation Dance vary considerably in age, but what unites them is that, each in their own way, they exuberantly celebrate the power of dance. The youngest, rising star Rena Butler makes her Dutch debut in this program, in combination with two recent hit productions by Ted Brandsen and William Forsythe and an 'all-time favorite' by Hans van Manen.

The tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, told through Prokofiev's evocative ballet music is the dramatic highlight in this concert given by National Youth Orchestra of Wales.

Brangwyn Hall

The “most European” of America’s “Big Five” orchestras shuttles back and forth between the continents under its Principal Conductor Franz Welser-Möst: in America, John Adams takes inspiration from the curiosities of French Provence (“Guide to Strange Places”), while in Paris, Sergei Prokofiev is inspired by the industrial landscapes of America in his mighty Second Symphony.

The Cleveland Orchestra

Berliner Philharmonie

Explosive energy and charm – some of the key words when super pianist Yuja Wang and Esa-Pekka Salonen shine together at the Baltic Sea Festival. Stravinsky's Capriccio for piano and orchestra , with its modernism that teases the ear just enough to get everyone in a good mood. Prokofiev's first piano concerto, which from start to finish is youthful, virtuosic, pure joy. Sibelius's orchestral tale of Lemminkäinen – the reckless womanizer in Finnish mythology – reflects the protagonist's character: playful, lovesick and with irresistible energy, although a typical Sibelius darkness can be found in the beautiful dull third movement, Tuonela's Swan .

Wang & Salonen

Prokofiev’s Third Piano Concerto isn’t just a surefire showpiece that paints a vivid picture of its creator’s acerbic spirit, it’s also a treacherously difficult work conceived for Prokofiev’s own extraordinary pianistic prowess.
