Bartók’s pantomime ballet, The Miraculous Mandarin, was considered scandalous and banned in Germany after the first performance! Hear the vivid music that tells the tale of seduction, debauchery and murder. The programme also includes Haydn’s appealing Trumpet Concerto, with the TSO’s accomplished Principal Trumpet, Andrew McCandless, as the soloist, plus Brahm’s affectionate homage to Haydn’s Classical-period style.

  • James Gaffigan, conductor
  • Andrew McCandless, trumpet
