The 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Semyon Bychkov performs Bryce Dessner's Mari, Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and Kirill Gerstein is the piano soloist in Strauss's Burleske.
In 1922, the鈥槎股玮�痬ade its first broadcast. As we celebrate a鈥痗entury鈥痮f鈥� informing, educating and entertaining,鈥痺e look back on what the world was listening to 100 years ago, and to the future as the 麻豆社 SO (founded in 1930) continues to shape the sounds of the now.
It was in 1922 that Maurice Ravel turned to Modest Mussorgsky鈥檚 monumental piano work鈥疨ictures at an Exhibition, reimagining the piece in orchestral clothing and bolstering its shattering climax in the process.鈥疭emyon Bychkov presides over this performance of the resulting鈥痬asterpiece, after the UK premiere of a 2021 work by鈥疉merican composer Bryce Dessner鈥�(who is also a member or rock band The National),鈥痗ommissioned鈥痓y Bychkov himself.鈥� Pianist Kirill Gerstein, a long-time musical partner of the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and Semyon Bychkov, takes on the hyper-virtuosic demands of Richard Strauss's Burlesque, a piano concerto homage to Brahms.
During the interval we'll hear recent recordings from the 麻豆社 Symphony Chorus - founded by the 麻豆社 in 1928 as The National Chorus. Amy Bryce's So All Voices Can Fly was specially commissioned by 麻豆社 Radio 3 to celebrate 麻豆社 100. And Cecilia McDowall's Shipping Forecast pays tribute to 麻豆社 Radio 4's daily broadcasts of the Met Office's weather reports and forecasts for the seas around the coasts of the British Isles - on behalf of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency.
