Thomas Larcher's Violin Concerto

The BBC Symphony Orchestra welcomes rising conductor Kazuki Yamada to the helm as it continues to mark its eightieth year. They perform Takemitsu's Requiem for string orchestra; the UK premiere of Thomas Larcher's Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, featuring soloist Isabelle Faust, for whom the work was composed; and Rachmaninov's bold, sweeping Symphony No 2 in E minor, the piece that established Rachmaninov's prowess as a symphonic composer. (Note: ticket holders are also admitted to a pre-concert talk in the Fountain Room at 6pm. Places are limited for this talk so arrive early to avoid disappointment)
