Auckland Philharmonia will delight with Ravel’s Le Tombeau de Couperin, an ageless homage to his Baroque predecessor with his familiar orchestral tones and colour as well as an underlying wistfulness. In Saint-Saëns’ Second Piano Concerto, a pianist giving us a display of utterly astonishing virtuosity. Swiss pianist Louis Schwizgebel is sure to sparkle with this ever-popular piece. Next, Takemitsu, filmmaker Kurosawa’s favourite composer, wrote film music as visionary and powerful as his concert music. This lyrical suite of film scores takes influences from 1950’s jazz and Viennese waltz. Lastly, Poulenc’s marvellous and witty, yet rarely performed, Sinfonietta will ensure you leave the concert hall in good spirits. An unmissable evening out for music lovers in the city centre.
