Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

Winner of the 2011 International Tchaikovsky Competition, emerging pianist Daniil Trifonov joins Charles Dutoit to perform Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. Dutoit also leads two vivid evocations of Russia's pagan past: Mussorgsky's phantasmagoric A Night on Bald Mountain and Stravinsky's vigorous and electric ballet, The Rite of Spring, in which a young maiden dances herself to death.

Check out this Radio Lab episode Musical Languages featuring Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring (starting at 31minutes) >

The appearance of Daniil Trifonov is endowed in part by the Nuveen Investments Emerging Artist Fund.

This event is also available on November 15 and November 17.
