Live at the 91热爆 Proms: The Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra performs early 20th-century classics by Lili Boulanger, Debussy, Prokofiev and Ravel with Lahav Shani as conductor and pianist.
Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Albert Hall, London
Lili Boulanger: D鈥檜n soir triste
Claude Debussy: La mer
c. 8.10pm
INTERVAL: The French music historian Caroline Potter joins Martin Handley to explore how Parisian creative life informed the musical voices of Boulanger, Debussy and Ravel, and how the French capital seduced Prokofiev.
c. 8.30pm
Sergey Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C major
Maurice Ravel: La valse
Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
Lahav Shani (piano/conductor)
Prokofiev鈥檚 Third Piano Concerto isn鈥檛 just a surefire showpiece that paints a vivid picture of its creator鈥檚 acerbic spirit, it鈥檚 also a treacherously difficult work conceived for Prokofiev鈥檚 own extraordinary pianistic prowess. Bringing his Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra to the Proms, Lahav Shani goes all-in: playing the concerto while directing it at the same time. This feat of musical derring-do is apt for a concert packed with game-changing masterpieces from the first decades of the 20th century, including Debussy鈥檚 symphonic seascape La mer. It culminates in the waltz to end all waltzes: Ravel鈥檚 compelling, nightmarish piece of orchestral theatre, La valse.
