Summary
Ilan Volkov conducts the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, where violinist Ilya Gringolts joins for Prokofiev’s First Concerto before a performance of Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony.
Why it's fantastic
Witness the shimmering opening theme Bruckner reportedly heard in a dream, played in a hall renowned for making these vast orchestral textures glow. Before the interval, Ilya Gringolts tackles Prokofiev’s first concerto, a work that balances sharp, modern energy with the kind of silver-toned lyricism that stays with you long after.
