CONCERT EVENT

TESTONI/RAVEL

A great orchestrator himself, the Italian composer Giampaolo Testoni joins Maurice Ravel this evening in a mesmerising programme, pushing the boundaries of dance and imagination.

A talented specialist in the music of Ravel, whose entire piano legacy he has recorded, Alexandre Tharaud has chosen to perform one of his most fantastic works on this evening: the famous Concerto for the Left Hand, with its dark and disturbing landscapes. In contrast, La Valse sees the Basque composer playing with the codes of one of the most popular dances of the classical repertoire: the Viennese Waltz. Almost a century later, Giampaolo Testoni's Danze popolari immaginarie perpetuates this tradition with a formidable sense of rhythm and brilliance.
