Maxim Emelyanychev Conductor
Ivan Podyomov Oboe

The song-like Oboe Concerto was one of Mozart’s most loved and performed pieces during his own lifetime. Discover why in the hands of internationally recognised soloist Ivan Podyomov, Principal Oboe at Amsterdam’s Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and an internationally recognised concerto player too.

Maxim Emelyanychev complements Mozart’s charming creation with the first symphonies of two iconic composers: Schubert’s is a remarkably mature, dramatic work for a 16-year-old, while Beethoven’s strains against musical rules from its very first notes. By way of contrast, SCO Associate Composer Jay Capperauld delves into Bruckner’s macabre fascination with those two composers in a brand-new piece.

Violin virtuoso Nemanja Radulović and his Double Sens ensemble this time embark on a program entirely dedicated to Bach. The four works in this program follow the classic structure of baroque concertos, with different contrasting movements highlighting both the soloists and the orchestra. Each piece in this repertoire offers technical and artistic challenges for musicians, while revealing the musical depth and melodic richness characteristic of Bach’s unique style. An exceptional musical moment in perspective, combining the passion and virtuosity of these renowned artists in the interpretation of the timeless masterpieces of the great baroque master.
