Debussy's Images
Cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and pianist D茅nes V谩rjon join The Hall茅 for Kurt谩g's Double Concerto, before Thomas Ad猫s conducts his own work Lieux retrouv茅s and Debussy's vivid Images.
Thomas Ad猫s conducts The Hall茅 in Debussy's Images - a colourful triptych of orchestral canvases - and his own equally atmospheric work Lieux retrouv茅s, which started life as a duo for cello and piano. That pairing combines as the solo instruments of Gy枚rgy Kurt谩g's Double Concerto, for which the orchestra is joined tonight by pianist D茅nes V谩rjon and cellist Nicolas Altstaedt (who also takes the solo role in Lieux retrouv茅s). The concert begins on a mysterious note with Charles Ives' evocative orchestral piece The Unanswered Question.
Presented by Tom McKinney. Recorded at Bridgewater Hall in Manchester on Thursday 23rd April 2026.
