For the last of our 2015 concerts at The Baths Hall, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will perform a selection of Great Classics from some of the world’s best-loved composers.
With one of the most celebrated tunes in the world, Schubert’s famously ‘unfinished’ two-movement Symphony is both beautiful and mysterious; a small masterpiece beloved by performers and audiences alike. One of today’s most talented and popular pianists, Freddy Kempf, joins the RPO for Beethoven’s Third Piano Concerto. Sharing some of the stern grandeur of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, but sprinkled with a Mozartian playfulness, the piece’s slow movement looks forward to the magic of the 'Moonlight' Sonata he wrote shortly afterwards. You will also have the chance to hear Tchaikovsky's divine Symphony No.5 which combines dark motifs with an impassioned love theme.
