Information about the programme
Golijov’s Nazareno has a permanent place on the Rattle family’s playlist. As Sir Simon’s youngest daughter puts it: “If all your classical works were like this, I’d come to every concert – because it’s so good to dance to!” This irresistible celebration of South American music will feature two of Rattle’s lifelong friends at the piano: the sisters Katia and Marielle Labèque. The works of de Falla, Stravinsky, and Bernstein provide just as much character, resulting in an absolute dream program of classical music, jazz, and tango, that demonstrates the BRSO’s full sonic and rhythmic spectrum. The concert will showcase the BRSO solo clarinettists in the Ebony Concerto, and the Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, works written by Stravinsky and Bernstein respectively for the legendary jazz clarinettist Woody Herman.
