Schleswig-Holstein Festival Orchester / »Gershwin & Ravel«

George Gershwin described the final movement of his own Concerto in F as an »orgy of rhythms«. There is also something orgiastic about Ravel’s »La Valse«, an ambiguous requiem to a century that had begun to fall apart. With these two pieces, Ravel’s choreographic symphony »Daphnis et Chloé« – his longest and most ambitious work –, and more than 200 performers, this will be an evening to remember.
