Daniel Harding, Joshua Bell, and the New York Philharmonic's Russian evening

Zerbinetta, 8th December

For one of the most iconic works in the art music repertoire, The Rite of Spring actually isn’t performed very often. This week it made a welcome appearance on a New York Philharmonic program under the baton of British conductor Daniel Harding. It turned out to be the main event of an otherwise routine evening.The concert opened with a short work by Oliver Knussen, Flourish with Fireworks.
