Alexander Shelley
Piano
Peter Jablonski
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
Emerging from a musical family, talented British conductor
Alexander Shelley has firmly established himself on the international concert scene and makes a welcome return to the Orchestra for this spectacular programme.
The dramatic
Romeo And Juliet Fantasy Overture, for many the most perfect expression of the fate of those star-cross’d lovers, is followed by
Rachmaninov’s lushly-scored set of variations for piano and orchestra.
Scheherazade, a series of musical tales drawn from
The Arabian Nights, remains Rimsky-Korsakov’s best-loved work. The scoring is masterly, and its heady mix of sumptuous melody and overwhelming orchestral climaxes has served to maintain the universal popularity of the score.
