Stephen Hough with the Royal Northern Sinfonia

Pianist Stephen Hough joins Royal Northern Sinfonia and conductor Dinis Sousa to perform Beethoven's Piano Concerto No.3, Unsuk Chin's Subito con forza and Mozart's Symphony No. 41.

Pianist Stephen Hough joins Royal Northern Sinfonia and principal conductor, Dinis Sousa. To open the concert, Unsuk Chin’s disconcerting Subito con forza (suddenly with power). This piece plays with the audience, containing little references to Beethoven’s music but then completely turning expectations on their head. Following this, Beethoven’s emotionally charged Piano Concerto No.3 which has an almost unimaginably fragile and beautiful central movement that contrasts with what is a lively jog of a last movement. Closing the concert, Mozart’s mighty Symphony No. 41, Jupiter. Its ending is one of the most memorable of all time, written as if it has a jet engine behind it, gathering speed and excitement all the time.

Recorded at The Glasshouse, Gateshead on 27th October 2024.

Presented by Mark Forrest.
