Valery Gergiev and the Mariinsky Orchestra celebrate Stravinsky with a gala that closes with an outstanding Firebird; young talent blooms in A Soldier's Tale

El pasado martes la Orquesta Sinfónica de Euskadi ofreció un concierto, en el Baluarte de Pamplona, que tuvo como denominador común la escala en do mayor. La dirección de Hans Graf fue lo que dio un toque especial a la ejecución de las piezas escogidas de Beethoven, Stravinsky y Schumann.

Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, Scottish Chamber Orchestra composer in residence in the late 1980s, seemed an appropriate choice to write a piece for this, the orchestra’s 40th anniversary year.
