Details
The concert opens with Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin, a 20th-century view on the French Baroque tradition. The piece was originally composed for solo piano and then beautifully orchestrated, showing the different colours of the Orchestra in a way only Ravel could. In the second half of the concert, conductor Frank Zielhorst leads the BSO through Beethoven's Second Symphony, a life-affirming, joyful work despite the composer's turmoil and struggle with the onset of deafness during the time of composition.
