INTERVAL
Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition arr. Ravel
Yannick Nezet-Seguin - conductor
Christian Lindberg - trombone
La Valse opens the curtains on Maurice Ravel's extraordinary imagination: 'Clouds whirl about.. as they gradually lift, one can discern a gigantic hall, filled by a crowd of dancers... the glow of the chandeliers breaks out fortissimo'. In his life and works, the composer swung from intellectual elegance to childlike playfulness and back; a charming hallmark reflected in the spirited pendulum-sway of La Valse, and the adjacent architectural marvels and frolicsome creatures of Pictures at an Exhibition, which Ravel thrust into orchestral technicolour from Mussorgsky's piano suite.
'Yannick Nezet-Seguin is a name to be conjured with. This was a striking debut, exhilarating, polished and illuminated by a technique that threw even the most familiar music into sharp new relief' (Daily Telegraph).
Royal Festival Hall at 6.15pm: Sean Rafferty discusses the evening's programme with trombonist Christian Lindberg. Admission free.
