Programme Note

Southampton Concert Orchestra return on Valentines Day with “Concerto Sunday” where passion, romance, and musical poetry take centre stage.

Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet, a sweeping symphonic fantasy that captures the tender beauty and tragic intensity of Shakespeare’s most famous lovers. Then, prepare to be moved by Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 – a work born of heartbreak and healing, filled with soaring melodies that have come to define romantic expression in music.  Finally the yearning intensity of Wagner’s Prelude to Tristan und Isolde, a work that redefined musical expression with its endless longing and unresolved desire.
