Auckland Philharmonia celebrates Maurice Ravel’s 150th birthday with one of the most glorious enchantments cast by that incomparable orchestral magician.
This ‘choreographic symphony’ is a stupendous showpiece for a great orchestra. The sunrise music transforms a fine-spun filigree of impossible delicacy into an immense climax, and the riotous conclusion of the ballet is just exhilarating.
Ravel greatly admired Saint-Saëns, whose exotic concerto is played by the tremendous Spanish pianist Javier Perianes, making a welcome return to the Auckland Town Hall.
