Grand passions and big tunes from Mendelssohn, Korngold and Augusta Holmès, as conductor Marie Jacquot makes her debut with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.
Marie Jacquot, conductor
Paul Huang, violin
Young hearts run free: Felix Mendelssohn, Augusta Holmès and Erich Korngold all showed dazzling talent at an early age. Each followed their instincts, writing music that blazed with colour in a tumultuous and often hostile world. And the BBC Symphony Orchestra celebrates them all today, in this keenly-awaited debut appearance from the dynamic young French conductor Marie Jacquot.
Make no mistake, this is music to fall in love with – whether Holmès’s tale of chivalry, or the unchained melody of Mendelssohn’s hugely popular violin concerto. 'Enchanting' was how one critic described our soloist Paul Huang, and he won’t stint on the magic today. As for Korngold’s extraordinary Sinfonietta: imagine a teenage genius in imperial Vienna, having the time of his life with a super-sized orchestra. Prepare to be swept away.
