  1. En Saga Op 9 - Jean Sibelius
  2. Concerto for Piano (Left Hand) and Orchestra - Maurice Ravel
  3. Symphony No 6 in F, 'Pastoral' Op 68 - Ludwig van Beethoven

This atmospheric concert sees Argentinean pianist Nelson Goerner join the Hallé for Ravel’s richly-hued concerto of 1931. Written for the Viennese virtuoso, Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in the First World War, it remains one of the biggest technical challenges facing any pianist, its jazz-tinged rhythms etched against a dark orchestral background.

Ravel’s concerto is framed by two contrasting soundscapes. Sibelius described En Saga as the ‘expression of state of mind’ rather than a mythical adventure, although there’s no shortage of incident in this powerful ‘psycho-drama’. Beethoven, too, insisted that his Pastoral Symphony was as much an emotional landscape as a scenic description, but there’s still a strong sense of place in this glorious evocation of the countryside, from the lulling sounds of a brook to the famous central storm.
