SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE STRAVINSKY RITE OF SPRING DAPHNIS AND CHLOE
Conductor Matthias Pintscher leads
a program celebrating the varied
voices of France. In "Ibéria," from his
multinational tone poem Images,
Debussy carries us to an Andalusian
village in three colorful sound pictures.
The lands of Asia are depicted in Ravel’s
song cycle Shéhérazade, featuring the
Metropolitan Opera’s young mezzo
star Kate Lindsey. And we visit a world
purely of the imagination: Berlioz’s
spine-tingling Symphonie fantastique, in
which a disappointed lover finds himself
entrapped in a terrifying Witches’ Sabbath. Marin Alsop has created a fascinating
program that mixes Russia’s Igor Stravinsky
with Germany’s Kurt Weill. Stravinsky’s
ballet The Rite of Spring provoked a riot at
its premiere in Paris in 1913 and ranks as one
of the 20 th century’s most exciting scores.
Fleeing the Nazi takeover of their country,
Weill joined with playwright Bertolt Brecht
to create another Paris shocker in 1933 —
their satirical “ballet with songs,” The Seven
Deadly Sins, which will feature a dancer and
quartet of male voices. Marin Alsop leads the second suite from
Ravel’s gorgeous ballet music for Daphnis
et Chloé, with its evocative portrait of
dawn’s arrival, followed by the Viennese
waltz-filled Suite from Richard Strauss’
Der Rosenkavalier. German cellist Alban
Gerhardt performs a new Cello Concerto,
written expressly for him by famed
Australian composer Brett Dean. We’ll
also hear JUMP! by Hungarian composer
Judit Varga, renowned in Europe for her
film scores.
