May-Kay Yau Demise of the Cherry Blossoms (c.10’) (World Premiere, University of Aberdeen Music Prize Commission)

Britten Piano Concerto

Vaughan Williams Symphony No.5

Steven Osborne piano

Vassily Sinaisky conductor

Russian conductor Vassily Sinaisky, always a popular visitor to The Music Hall with the BBC SSO, has made some fascinating forays into British music in recent years. Having shown his versatility with some outstanding Elgar in the past, here he tackles the most lyrical of Vaughan Williams’ symphonies, the beautiful, mystical Fifth. A short new piece specially commissioned from the winner of 2009’s University of Aberdeen Music Prize is the curtain-raiser for Britten’s scintillatingly virtuosic Piano Concerto. This is barn-storming young man’s music, written for the young composer himself to play at the BBC Proms, and as the Gramophone Award-winning recording with the BBC SSO will attest, it has the ideal interpreter in Steven Osborne.

This concert is part of sound, North East Scotland’s contemporary music festival.
