Ravel 150 and Boulez 100

Bertrand Chamayou joins the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic and Ludovic Morlot for Ravel's Piano Concerto for the left hand. Bold and brilliant music by Boulez opens the programme.

From the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester
Presented by Tom McKinney

Fantasy and folklore lead the way in the 蜜芽传媒 Philharmonic's continuing birthday celebrations for Ravel and Boulez; Beauty and the Beast, an Old Castle and a hut on chicken's legs all put in an appearance!
'Notations', Boulez's reimagining of his own jewelled piano miniatures opens the concert and Ravel's beautiful orchestration of his own piano duets written for children, form a basis for his entrancing fairy tale ballet, 'Mother Goose' which follows.

Bertrand Chamayou joins the orchestra for the fascinating sound-world of Ravel's Piano Concerto for the left hand and the programme ends at the Great Gate of Kiev in Ravel's personality-filled orchestration of Mussorgsky's piano masterpiece, 'Pictures at an Exhibition'.
