About
Embark on a madcap adventure with music that marries the heat of Gershwin’s American jazz with the cool French elegance of Roussel’s ballet suite and Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand.
Stéphane Denève Conducts
Cédric Tiberghien Piano
ROUSSEL Suite No. 2 from Bacchus et Ariane
RAVEL Piano Concerto for the Left Hand in D Major
MILHAUD La Création du monde
GERSHWIN An American in Paris
Hot jazz meets cool French elegance in Gershwin’s An American in Paris, which follows one tourist’s adventures as he dodges taxis along the bustling Champs-Élysées, parties in the city’s dance halls and feels pangs of homesickness.
Composed for a pianist who lost his right arm in World War I, Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand begins with a stew of deep, sinister sounds before building to a madcap, brassy march. Cédric Tiberghien — “a magician with poetic clarity” (Le Soir) — commands the stage in Ravel’s jazz-infused concerto, leaving you to wonder how such a work is performed with just one hand.
A pair of kaleidoscopic ballet scores from Roussel and Milhaud complete the evening, tracing mythological tales of love, forgiveness and the creation of the world.
