BBC Symphony Orchestra - Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Dalbavie
Friday 17 December, 7pm
The Barbican Centre
Moscow-born Alexei Ogrintchouk’s cuttings book includes superlative reviews and details of a glittering solo and orchestral career. He joins the BBC Symphony Orchestra and its Chief Conductor Jiří Belohlávek to give the premiere of a new Oboe Concerto by Marc-André Dalbavie, explorer of ‘spectral music’ and discoverer of breathtaking realms of sound.
Premiered in 1947 as Russia was reeling from the after effects of the Second World War, Prokofiev’s Sixth Symphony is widely regarded as his masterpiece.
