Stunning orchestral colors dazzle in three musical tales. Harmony, melody, and rhythm are blurred in Debussy’s evocative Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune, while Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé Suite No. 2 seduces with shimmering colors and thrills with its rhythmically dynamic final dance. Scheherazade unfolds in a series of vividly orchestrated scenes, including a seductive solo violin that depicts the title character, snarling brass that portrays a bloodthirsty sultan, and a massive orchestral surge that represents a ship dashed on rocks.
Please note that Yannick Nézet-Séguin will conduct the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in place of Valery Gergiev. The program remains unchanged.
