Mussorgsky trans. Stokowski Boris Godunov: Symphonic Synthesis
Vaughan Williams Serenade to Music*
Kazuki Yamada conductor
Takemitsu Signals from Heaven
Dvořák Symphony No.8
The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra’s renowned and charismatic music director, Kazuki Yamada, guest conducts the RBC Symphony Orchestra in a brilliant season finale to bring the house down. Dvořák’s Eighth is a jewel of a symphony, packed with folk tunes, Slavic character and driving rhythms, and a favourite of musicians and audiences alike.
Before that, Daniele Rosina conducts music from Mussorgsky’s opera Boris Godunov transcribed by Leopold Stokowski, an arranger synonymous with rich orchestral colour. We’ll also hear Vaughan Williams’s rapturous Serenade to Music, a setting of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice that seems to float on the breeze; and Takemitsu’s two atmospheric fanfares for brass – Signals from Heaven – one each for day and night. This is a concert that showcases the whole orchestra.
