A concert of high drama and glittering impressionism, with music by Dukas, Ravel, De Falla and Debussy.

This afternoon’s concert is suffused with drama and Impressionism in equal measure. De Falla’s lush and brilliant score for piano and orchestra depicts three Spanish gardens, and weaves the scent of jasmine with exotic gypsy dancers and feasting. Debussy’s La Mer is equally evocative, conjuring the sweep and power of the sea’s moods. In the first half, Paul Dukas vividly recreates the famous ballad of a wizard’s lazy junior assistant, while Ravel transports us into the jazz era in Paris for a dizzying and glittering display of pianistic virtuosity.
