Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra brings one of the UK’s brightest stars to Barnstaple for a sensational symphonic concert. Elgar’s masterpiece for strings provides the perfect foil to Shostakovich’s powerful and virtuosic Cello Concerto No.1, at times rhythmic and ferocious, but also with moments of wistful tenderness. Mozart’s last symphony is one of the great masterpieces of the genre. From the heroic opening flourishes to the triumphant five-part fugato near the end, it bubbles over with Mozart’s high spirits and compositional genius. Here is late Mozart at the height of his powers.
