Edinburgh International Festival 2022 (2/4)
The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Edward Gardner perform Ravel, Schumann and Rachmaninov.
The Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and Chief Conductor Edward Gardner conjure the spirit of the dance in works by Ravel and Rachmaninov and reveal the passionate emotions of Schumann with Icelandic pianist, V铆kingur 脫lafsson.
Ravel's La Valse conveys a very clear image. In his score Ravel described an immense hall hung with chandeliers, waltzing couples and whirling crowds. V铆kingur 脫lafsson makes his Edinburgh International Festival debut in Schumann鈥檚 long awaited, and only, piano concerto which he composed for his wife Clara, who premiered it in Dresden in 1845. Edward Gardner and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra conclude their performance with Rachmaninov鈥檚 Hollywood-style Symphonic Dances. The original inspiration was a 1915 ballet called 鈥楾he Scythians鈥� but it took another 30 years before those early sketches became his Symphonic Dances and ultimately his final full orchestral work.
