Programme Notes

In a programme designed to pay tribute to musical predecessors, the evening opens with Tchaikovsky’s sentimental tribute to the composer he worshipped and culminates in Mozart’s 'Jupiter' — his final and greatest symphony.

Working with the astonishing recorder virtuoso Genevieve Lacey, Elena Kats-Chernin radically reshaped Bach’s Two-Part Inventions and one even became ‘a kind of mysterious tango’.

For George Benjamin, it was Purcell’s music ‘with its mesmerising intersection of line and harmony', that he says changed his path as a composer.
