About this concert
"The remarkable soloist Ning Feng, his tone so sweet and pure, believed in every note, and as a result so did we” wrote The Times, after a performance of Brahms’s Violin Concerto by this phenomenal Chinese violinist – and after all, it takes a special kind of soloist to do justice to this noblest of the great Romantic violin concertos. This should be something special, and conductor Antony Hermus has devised a whole concert charged with wonder. Cinderella flees at midnight, and in Prokofiev’s shimmering ballet score, you’ll hear every chime, every magic spell, and every loving glance. Dutch composer Joey Roukens lights the touchpaper with a riotous nocturnal rollercoaster ride through a city of dreams.
This concert will be recorded for 鶹 Radio 3 for future broadcast.
