...THUS WITH A KISS I DIE...
Friday 8 April, 8pm
at the National Concert Hall
Linked event: Soundings: The Showcase at 7pm
Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 in B flat, Op. 83 [46']
Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet (excerpts), Op. 64 [35']
Barry Douglas piano/conductor
Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 2 can be dominated by either the conductor or the soloist, but here it is performed - as with the first concerto in September - by Barry Douglas directing from the keyboard. Not to be missed!
Followed by excerpts from Prokofiev's ballet masterpiece, Romeo and Juliet, including one better known as the theme from The Apprentice. The deep cry of anguish as Romeo drinks his poison and dies next to Juliet's sleeping body is one of the ballet's towering moments - unadulterated romanticism from beginning to end.
