8 Jan 2014 - BBC SO - Schumann, Colin Matthews, Beethoven

[PJPJ]

Apologies if there's already a thread about this concert. I couldn't find one. Unfortunately I missed this - had hoped to listen to the Matthews.

Live from the Barbican Centre, London

Presented by Martin Handley

Sakari Oramo conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra in music by Schumann, Colin Matthews, and Beethoven's great 3rd Symphony, Eroica.

Schumann: Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra

Colin Matthews: Traces Remain (BBC commission: world premiere)

Beethoven: Symphony No.3 in E flat major, 'Eroica'

Horn players of the BBC SO

For his second programme in the BBC Symphony Orchestra's season, Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo offers an exhilarating menu of Beethoven, Schumann and Colin Matthews. Beethoven's 'Eroica' Symphony was, and remains, a revolutionary statement of genius. The blazing 'hunting' horns in the symphony's trio, perfectly echoes Schumann's glorious Konzertstück for four horns, showcasing soloists from the BBC SO, and the heroic, romantic and soulful qualities of the instrument. Traces Remain, a new commission from Colin Matthews, takes its name and inspiration from a book of essays by Charles Nicholl: 'the sudden presence, the glimpse behind the curtain, the episode measured in minutes and preserved across the centuries'.

Very well reviewed in the Times especially the Eroica as I recall.
