| Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, Manchester M2 3WS, United Kingdom Thursday 23-May-13 07:30pm The Hallé Paul Lewis is internationally recognised as one of the leading pianists of his generation. An acclaimed interpreter of the classical repertoire, here he performs Mozart’s exquisite A major concerto. Although clouds occasionally darken the Mozartian sky, the work is largely a sunny affair, particularly its ebullient finale. The concert begins with a new piece by the Hallé’s Associate Composer Helen Grime, while after the interval Sir Mark conducts Mahler’s First Symphony. This remarkable work begins with bird-calls and distant military fanfares before proceeding via a wonderfully rustic Ländler and an evocation of a Jewish funeral to its inspirational, life-affirming conclusion. | ||

At the same time, these concerts mark the end of a seven-year engagement with us in Oslo as well as an extremely important chapter in the orchestra’s artistic history. It will be next to impossible to leave the concert hall unmoved when the final chorus of Mahler’s’ symphony no. 2 finishes with “Bereite dich zu leben”. | ||

| Donald and Maureen Green Music Center: Weill Hall, Sonoma, CA, 1801 East Cotati Ave, Rohnert Park, Sonoma, 94928, United States Thursday 23-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. | ||

A musical giant of our time, his concerts are always thrilling, his interpretations sublimely artistic. These concerts mark his début in the HKPO’s season, and feature aptly passionate masterworks. Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony, a heroic celebration of Finland’s native wonders, evokes profound darkness and gleaming light. Richard Strauss’ Don Juan captures the blustering romance of a reckless lover. Then, from much later in Strauss’ life, the Four Last Songs mark a farewell to life and love. | ||

| 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. | ||
