Summary
Simone Young leads the BBC Philharmonic at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall, featuring pianist Cédric Tiberghien in two Schumann concertos before a performance of Richard Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Experience the sheer scale of a mountain climb through music as over a hundred musicians recreate the sound of waterfalls, glaciers, and a ferocious mountain storm. Before the trek, pianist Cédric Tiberghien offers a gentler path with two poetic rarities by Schumann that showcase the piano’s most lyrical, intimate side.
