Imagine this. A robot goes terrifyingly off the rails… and
percussionist Colin Currie is the only man who can stop it.
Shostakovich Festival Overture (c.7 mins)
Olga Neuwirth Trurliade – Zone Zero for solo percussion and orchestra (c.33
mins) UK premiere
Prokofiev Symphony No.6 (c.42 mins)
Colin Currie percussion
Ilan Volkov conductor
All music tells
a story, but the best music tells more than one. Shostakovich’s Festival
Overture opens with jubilant trumpets – but this was the Soviet Union, so
it would do, wouldn’t it? Prokofiev wrote his Sixth Symphony in the aftermath
of World War Two, and though it’s certainly an epic, it’s far from clear that
it ends in anything as simple as triumph. As you’d expect from Ilan Volkov,
it’s the climax of a whole evening of music that asks as many questions as it
answers, including Olga Neuwirth’s utterly original vision of a robot machine going
terrifyingly off the rails. Armed with DJ turntables, a megaphone and clicking
metal frogs, soloist Colin Currie - possibly the world’s greatest living
percussionist – is the only man who can stop it…
