Ukrainian National Philharmonic Orchestra

Brahms Hungarian Dance No 5
Mozart Piano Concerto No 21 K467
Dvořák Symphony No 7

Theodore Kuchar, conductor
Mark Bebbington, piano

This welcome visit by the heroic Ukrainian National Philharmonic Orchestra, under their fellow countryman, conductor Theodore Kuchar, begins exuberantly with Brahms’ dashing Fifth Hungarian Dance. There’s an elegant contrast as popular British pianist Mark Bebbington performs Mozart’s best-loved Piano Concerto No.21, whose ethereally beautiful slow movement acquired the nickname, the ‘dream andante’. Dvořák’s ardent Seventh Symphony was inspired by the composer hearing Brahms’ turbulent Third Symphony a few months earlier, but its compelling drama also reflects both his nation’s political struggles and personal grief. Beginning with smouldering intensity, it catches
fire in a thrilling mix of soaring melodies and driving rhythms.
