BBC Philharmonic & Elizabeth Atherton - Pictures of France
Lyon-born conductor Ludovic Morlot returns to the Bridgewater Hall with a buffet of modernist French fancies to excite and delight. From the bristling buzz of Dukas’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to the enchanting hypnotism of Dutilleux’s Le temps l’horloge, the BBC Philharmonic will be joined by soprano Elizabeth Atherton as they paint pictures of France through the decades.
Elegantly breaking up this feast of popular classics is some food for thought in Birtwistle’s Mahlerian inspired, The Triumph of Time, a mesmerising and introspective piece that came to exemplify his processional style as well as Honegger's Pacific 2-3-1 and Ravel's Boléro.
