Requiem for a Dream
The Zeiterion
Honor the past and feel it unfold before your ears. The beauty, intensity, and transformation will leave you changed in ways you didn’t expect.
Yaniv Dinur, conductor
Alexander Korsantia, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 4
Guillaume Connesson: Flammenschrift
Maurice Ravel: Mother Goose
Maurice Ravel: La valse
Commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Beethoven’s death, beloved pianist Alexander Korsantia returns to the NBSO to perform Beethoven’s Fourth—perhaps the most perfect piano concerto in the repertoire. Beethoven was a fervent advocate for the ideals of the French Revolution, and in that spirit, the second half of this concert is all French. And while Beethoven’s piece is the epitome of 19th-century Viennese music, Ravel’s La valse represents its unravelling, a magnificent farewell letter to the Viennese Waltz and to a world that would never be the same after the First World War. Connesson’s brilliant depiction of Beethoven the man will make the orchestra sound like you’ve never heard it before.
