RSNO 2025/26: Elgar’s Cello Concerto

CRUMB God-music from _Black Angels_BRITTEN Sinfonia da RequiemELGAR Cello ConcertoWAGNER Prelude to Act 1 from _Tristan and Isolde_SCRIABIN The Poem of EcstasyPATRICK HAHN Conductor / KIAN SOLTANI CelloThere’s a good reason why Elgar’s Cello Concerto is a classic: deep emotions surge beneath its haunted surface and if anyone can uncover them it’s our soloist, the remarkable Kian Soltani.

Today, it’s just one stage on an emotional odyssey devised by our Principal Guest Conductor Patrick Hahn: a voyage that embraces the infinite longing of George Crumb and Richard Wagner, the volcanic grief of Benjamin Britten, and Scriabin’s final, multicoloured starburst of pure sonic bliss.
