Igor Levit (piano)
Edward Gardner (conductor)
Friday 14 July 2017
Royal Albert Hall, London
★★★★
Tom Coult: St John's Dance
Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor, Op. 37
John Adams: Harmonium
'Mass hysteria, Schiller’s Ode to Joy and Wild Nights – a heady mix for this year’s opening night of the BBC Proms'.
Coult: 'The overlaying structure ... is deftly constructed, and Coult’s writing has great energy and drive, making this a successful concert opener'.
Beethoven: 'Levit made the long lyrical lines of the Largo sing'.
Adams: 'A highly impressive performance of this modern choral classic, testament to the input of the array of chorus directors involved, as well as to Gardner and the BBCSO’s command of the work's massive orchestral demands'.
