SUMMARY:Melbourne Symphony Orchestra: Sibelius and Ravel
DESCRIPTION:The MSO is joined by internationally in-demand pianist Yeol Eum Son for a program featuring masterpieces from the early 20th century and an Australian premiere. \n\n\n\n\nThomas Adès’ Exterminating Angel Symphony brings together excerpts from his 2016 opera of the same name\, based on the 1962 film by surrealist filmmaker Luis Buñuel. Adès utilises the eerie voice of an ondes Martenot\, one of the earliest electronic instruments\, invented in 1928. \nRavel knew what he wanted to avoid in his Piano Concerto in G: drama for drama’s sake. “It has been said of certain classics that their concertos were written not ‘for’ but ‘against’ the piano. I heartily agree.” Ravel elegantly contrasts vibrant jazz-influenced passages with a sparse and heartfelt second movement. \nSibelius revised his Fifth Symphony twice after its 1915 premiere\, at a concert celebrating his fiftieth birthday. The final edit condensed the original first two movements into one. The finale features the achingly beautiful ‘swan hymn’ featuring striking intervals in the horns. \n\n\n\n\nThursday 25 Aug\, 7:30 PM;  Saturday 27 Aug\, 2:00 PM –  Hamer Hall\n\n\nRunning Time1 hour 40 minutes (inc. 1 x 20 minute interval) \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\nThursday 25 August – Standard: $75.00 – $146.00; Concession*: $70.00 – $141.00 \nSaturday 27 August – Standard $69.00 – $129.00; Concession*: $64.00 – $124.00
