In ecstasy with Ravel, Szymanowski and Scriabin

Ravel / Szymanowski / Skrjabin An endless world of sound unfolds. At the beginning of the twentieth century, composers searched for deeper expressivity. The boundaries of recognizable, tonal reality were poetically expanded. Tone poets from across Europe revealed new dimensions in sound, rhythm and structure. Philzuid puts a number of symphonic pioneers in the spotlight, including impressionist genius Maurice Ravel. On the main menu is a joyful hymn to life. In his world-renowned tone poem Le Poème de l'Extase, Russian composer Aleksandr Skrjabin paints a mystical vision for orchestra. As never before, Skrjabin plays with luxuriant harmonies and timbres. The First Violin Concerto by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski is rarely to be experienced in concert halls. With its rich palette of sound, this modern hussar piece is just what 'Laureate of the Queen Elizabeth Competition' Sylvia Huang is looking for.
