What's Interesting
- Berlioz’s overture flows into a Liszt concerto Berlioz himself once conducted.
- Conductor Sir Mark Elder returns, joined by pianist Stephen Hough, “simply one of the most interesting musicians around” (The Boston Globe).
- Shimmering ballet music by Ravel completes a program of French connections.
What Critics Are Saying
“Who knows how Liszt must have attacked the piano part; but it would be difficult to imagine pianism of darker terror, fiercer energy or more eye-blinding brilliance than that presented by Stephen Hough.”
—The Times
“Inspired, perhaps, by the wind and rain, Hough whipped up a ferocious storm of his own, delivering a volatile, dramatic performance [of Liszt's First Piano Concerto]. Out of a relatively short piece, he crafted a kind of epic. And yet never did he sacrifice his silken touch or fail to engage the orchestra in sparkling conversation.”
