Vasily Petrenko returns to the Royal College of Music to conduct the RCM Symphony Orchestra in sparkling scores by Respighi and Ravel, framing the Tubin Double Bass Concerto performed by RCM Concerto Competition winner and YCAT artist, Will Duerden.

Estonian 20th-century composer Eduard Tubin brings the double bass into the spotlight with one of the most challenging works ever written for the instrument – a real work-out for the soloist.

Respighi’s Fountains of Rome was the piece that put him on the map, evoking Rome with bird-like woodwind solos and hazily impressionistic sonorities. There’s more birdsong in Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite no 2, with its shimmering sunrise, skittish ‘Pantomime’ and glittering ‘Danse’: a whirlwind of lively rhythms that showcases the full orchestra.
