Radio 3 in Concert: Worlds within worlds

Worlds within worlds

BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert, Worlds within worlds

The BBC Philharmonic are joined by conductor Eva Ollikainen in Manchester

The BBC Philharmonic explore and celebrate musical soundscape, energy and atmosphere in music by Debussy, Anna Thorvaldsdottir and Haydn.

From Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney


In a programme book-ended by the power of the sea, this concert explores and celebrates the ability of an orchestra to create soundscape, energy and atmosphere.
Haydn’s breathtakingly prophetic dark and turbulent overture to his opera L’isola disabitata (The uninhabited island) is our starting point for a journey which culminates in the raw power and intricate colour of Debussy’s La Mer.

In Anna Thorvaldsdottir’s ARCHORA, premiered by the BBC Philharmonic and Eva Ollikainen at last year’s BBC Proms, she creates “a world both familiar and strange ... an omnipresent parallel realm”.  Using the full colour and expressive force of the orchestra we are drawn into an immersive experience in a score which she subtitles “Worlds within worlds”.

Hailed by the Washington Post as "one of the finest pianists in the world", Richard Goode brings his insightful spark and finesse to Mozart’s Piano Concerto K 456.
