01 Prokofiev Symphony no. 1 (Classical)

Friday 13 October

St Petersburg Symphony Orchestra Prokofiev’s lively Classical Symphony takes Haydn’s symphonies as its affectionate model, successfully updating the form to the early twentieth century. Rimsky-Korsakov’s Arabian Nights fantasy is full of memorable moments as the

by Dvor˘ák, the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra retains its distinctive sound to this day. The concert opens with one

of Dvor˘ák’s most imaginative works, a series of variations on a Czech folk song. Shostakovich’s concerto is one of his most significant and successful. It is built on two four-note

07 Mozart Symphony no. 38 (Prague) La clemenza di Tito: Non più di fiori Parto, parto

Wednesday 28 February

Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment Mozart enjoyed some of his greatest successes in Prague, and the first half of this concert showcases some of the music first performed there. The equivalent city for Haydn was London. His dramatic scena is his most important work for solo voice, a striking piece that shows the title character lamenting her lost lover. The

Haydn Scena di Berenice Symphony no. 103 (Drumroll)

symphony is one of his very best, composed in London during his second visit to this country. The finale is a masterpiece of musical tension and strength, all based on an initial horn call.

“Piemontesi is one of those pianists who bring something original to everything they play.”

We’re delighted to welcome the extraordinary ensemble

Symphony no. 7

Spira Mirabilis to The Anvil for the first time. They gather each year for an intense period of concentration on a single work, which results in even the most familiar pieces appearing new and special in performance.

Beethoven’s symphony was first played at a mammoth concert in 1813 which was one of his greatest public successes. Its joyous energy and rhythmic impetus have made it among the most popular of all his symphonies.

“Spira Mirabilis represent a transformative vision of what a symphony orchestra can be…

They are a revelation…”

“Such rapport, flexibility, vivacity and virtuosity!

It showed what’s possible in a musical world where idealism and flair have yet to be diluted by compromise and routine.”
