The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Inspired by his Bolton childhood but evoking other worlds entirely, Simon Holt鈥檚 kinetic percussion concerto positively fizzes with energy. A thrilling, elemental explosion of sound, this is contemporary music at its most vital and fresh. a table of noises was written for dynamic British percussionist Colin Currie, who鈥檒l perform it with the orchestra 鈥� before conductor John Storg氓rds directs Mahler鈥檚 very different yet equally mesmerising Seventh Symphony, the mighty 鈥楽ong of the Night鈥�.
