CBSO Pictures at an Exhibition
Symphony Hall
This event is archived
When Maurice Ravel arranged Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition for orchestra, he created one of the few adaptations that’s better than the original! From its famous opening Promenade to the roof-raising final Great Gate of Kiev, it’s one of the all-time great orchestral showpieces, a glittering Russian jewel-box full of spicy tunes and unforgettable images. It’s a real CBSO favourite – and Dvorák’s riotous Carnival Overture is every bit as colourful. The great open spaces of Beethoven’s noble violin concerto will be like an oasis of calm – especially in the masterly hands of the young German virtuoso Isabelle Faust.
