BBC Philharmonic

British conductor Ben Glassberg closes the BBC Philharmonic’s 2022-23 Bridgewater Hall season with a dazzling programme of twentieth century treasures.

Starting with a whisper from one of Britain’s lesser-known composers, Ethel Smyth’s On the Cliffs of Cornwall from The Wreckers precedes and predicts Britten’s revolutionary operas and is equally as tantalising as it is radiant.

Britten’s bravura Piano Concerto, a welcome chance for “one of Britain’s most treasured musicians”, RNCM-trained Scottish pianist Steven Osborne OBE to show off his virtuosic flair in the glistening textures and quirky interplay between piano and orchestra.

Lastly, an explosive showstopper in the Symphonic Dances – Rachmaninov’s love-letter to his homeland and his final work.
