Summary
Thomas Adès leads the Hallé Orchestra and pianist Kirill Gerstein at The Bridgewater Hall in a programme featuring Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms and the UK premiere of Francisco Coll’s Lilith.
Why it's fantastic
Thomas Adès leads this varied programme, stepping onto the podium to conduct a virtuosic piano concerto he wrote specifically for soloist Kirill Gerstein. The evening closes with Stravinsky’s choral masterpiece, which avoids violins and violas entirely to create a stark, ritualistic sound that remains unlike anything else in the repertoire.
