| Kings Place: Hall One, London, 90 York Way, London N1 9AG, United Kingdom Wednesday 22-May-13 07:30pm Talk and Concert: Orient in Song The great Goethe, when in his sixties, fell under the spell of Hafiz, the 14th century Persian poet. Hafiz’s poetry inspired Goethe to create the ‘West-Östlicher Divan’ – a collection of love poems, epigrams and drinking songs. Goethe’s verses in turn inspired composers such as Franz Schubert and Felix Mendelssohn, while poems of Hafiz were set to music by Hugo Wolf and Richard Strauss. Join us as we explore Europe’s century-long love affair with the Orient through poetry, painting and song. Ravel, Maurice (1875-1937), Shéhérazade (excerpts) | ||

| Davies Symphony Hall, San Francisco, CA, San Francisco, CA 94102, United States Wednesday 22-May-13 08:00pm Robertson leads Ravel and Gershwin Ravel, who heard jazz in Harlem with Gershwin, was dumbfounded by the dazzling Rhapsody in Blue, which Gershwin played at a birthday party for the French composer. When Gershwin asked to study with him, Ravel said "It is better to write good Gershwin than bad Ravel." The jazz-influenced Concerto for the Left Hand was written for a pianist grievously injured during the First World War. The dark undertones of La Valse, an homage to Viennese waltz, suggest a furious farewell to gentility in post-war Europe. Elliott Carter's powerful Variations for Orchestra, another 20th-century masterwork, opens the program. | ||

| Concertgebouw Brugge: Concert Hall, Bruges, 8000 Bruges, Belgium Friday 24-May-13 08:00pm Brussels Philharmonic: Le Sacre du Printemps At the request of the Concertgebouw, the Venezuelan-Canadian choreographer and dancer José Navas created a personal solo version of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring. On the list of scandalous concerts, The Rite is joined by Bartók’s Miraculous Mandarin. The libretto of the latter disturbed its original audiences with its violence, and the musical setting also made this composition a classic example of expressionism. Nor was scandal absent from Ravel’s La Valse. The work was at the forefront of his feud with Diaghilev, who promptly rejected the work. | ||

Ravel’s String Quartet in F major follows in a presentation by the Cecilia String Quartet and after the intermission, you will hear César Franck’s Piano Quintet featuring Collard and the Cecilia in what has been called a work of ecstasy and unconstrained sensuality. | ||

When our recording of this set first came out in the late ’80s the Gramophone critic wrote: ‘Is this great music or merely weird?’ After many more performances I can say quite clearly that it is both. Gesualdo was unique; and whatever one thinks of his behaviour in life, I am convinced he knew exactly what he was doing with his music. To complement Gesualdo’s chromatic style we have put together a second half of music which has similar features – experimental, chromatic, ahead of its time – ending with that much-loved arch-revolutionary, Monteverdi.’ (Peter Phillips) Part of Cadogan Hall's Choral at Cadogan 2012/13 series. | ||
