Our relationship with both Barry Douglas and Michael Collins dates from the very start of both musicians’ careers, so it’s a huge pleasure to bring them together for a concert that bursts with energy from the opening by Elena Kats-Chernin to Bartók’s riotous Dance Suite at its close Dvořák’s dark symphonic tone poem The Wood Dove supplies a melodramatic tale of deception and tragedy and to counterbalance this, Douglas performs Schumann’s only piano concerto. This beautiful, expressive partnership between soloist and orchestra is the perfect match for our musicians and their two distinguished friends.
