A British first half pairs Elgar's concert overture, inspired by a winter holiday on the Italian Riviera, with the Piano Concerto by Hugh Wood (80 this year), which sees him tapping into the live-wire personality of tonight's soloist, for whom it was written.
The all-French second half reflects new light on Debussy's masterly orchestral seascape with two pinnacles of water-inspired piano music, transformed for the symphony orchestra.

Messiaen's ecstatic, Eastern-influenced celebration of love is framed by a BBC commission from one of America's rising talents and Anna Meredith's acclaimed tour de force of clapping, stamping, singing and body percussion, first performed earlier this year by NYO members and commissioned for the PRS for Music Foundation's New Music 20x12 programme as part of the Cultural Olympiad. Varèse's Tuning Up is a tongue-in-cheek parody based on the familiar orchestral strains usually heard on stage only before the conductor arrives.
VARÈSE: Tuning Up; MUHLY: Gait (BBC commission); MESSIAEN: Turangalîla Symphony; MEREDITH: HandsFree (recorded in the Royal Albert Hall, London by BBC) (Programme 11 tomorrow 10.00am)
11:30 approx New Music Dreams
