Celebrity culture is nothing new – and the French composer Charles Koechlin was seriously star-struck. There’s nothing in 20th century music quite like his Seven Stars’ Symphony: a sumptuous, swooning orchestral love-letter to Hollywood, drenched in full orchestral Technicolour and filled with melodies as glamorous as Greta Garbo, Douglas Fairbanks and Charlie Chaplin themselves. It’s not what you’d expect from a pupil of Fauré – but BBC SSO principal guest conductor Ilan Volkov loves musical surprises, and he’s got two more tonight: the piece of French orchestral wizardry that inspired Disney’s Fantasia, and Unsuk Chin’s shimmering new Clarinet Concerto, performed by the truly stellar Kari Kriikku.
