Järvi & Anderszewski: Ravel, Bartok & Debussy

Over het evenement

The twentieth century turned almost everything upside down and inside out, musically as well as politically. With four great works, Paavo Järvi illustrates the tremendous changes that characterized a most fascinating period in music history.

Beginning with the hesitant harmonies of Debussy's beloved 1892 Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun, the abandonment of classical form is already evident. Continuing on to WWI and beyond, the Orchestre de Paris delivers a rollicking performance of Ravel's bold Bolero after two deeply meaningful and contrasting works provided by a pair of extraordinary exiles: Bartok and Stravinsky. Piotr Anderszewski is the soloist in Bartok's alternately sublime and fiery Third Piano Concerto.
