Petrushka from Manchester

The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and John Storgards in Stravinsky's Petrushka. They are joined by virtuoso trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger for music by Haydn and Betsy Jolas.

From the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney

The BBC Philharmonic Orchestra bring two huge personalities to life in a concert which opens with Richard Strauss's lush portrait of maverick German folk hero Till Eulenspiegel, and culminates with a visit to a noisy and colourful fairground to meet Igor Stravinsky's larger-than-life prankster, puppet Petrushka. These colourful characters are portrayed in music by two composers who use the full scope of the Orchestra to tell magical stories and create startling atmospheres.

Virtuoso trumpet player Håkan Hardenberger joins the orchestra for Haydn's at turn tuneful and toe-tapping Trumpet Concerto and the lyrical qualities of the instrument are further explored in the music of French composer Betsy Jolas in her glowing work "Onze Lieder".
