The Festival Chorus perform a World Premiere commission from one of the UK’s foremost young composers Kemal Yusuf. Cain follows the life of the first-born human, and the world’s first murderer, in a work that speaks of suffering, self-worth and the compelling need to revive and make anew.
Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and a stunning line-up of soloists accompany this ambitious choral work with two masterpieces of 19th century Romanticism. One of the country’s brightest young musicians, Savitri Grier performs solo violin with Chausson’s Poème. David Parry conducts a rarely heard masterpiece: Franck’s Symphony in D Minor, full of richly textured orchestrations and inspired originality.
Ernest Chausson : Poème Op. 25
Kemal Yusuf : Cain
Cesar Franck : Symphony in D minor
