200 years since the birth of Édouard Lalo
Two seminal works of American scholarly music, visionary Charles Ives’s enigmatic Unanswered Question and George Gershwin’s jazz-inspired Rhapsody in Blue, are contrasted with two European masterpieces, Arnold Schönberg’s expressionistically impassioned Transfigured Night and the virtuosic Spanish symphony for solo violin of the French romantic composer Édouard Lalo.
The ASO is conducted by Kornilios Michailidis, well-known for his profound and insightful readings, and they are joined by two equally distinguished Greek soloists, Charis Dimaras on the piano and Danae Papamattheou-Matschke on the violin.
