The boundaries of recognizable, tonal reality were poetically expanded. Tone poets from all over Europe revealed new dimensions in sound, rhythm and structure. Philzuid puts a number of symphonic pioneers in the spotlight, including the impressionist genius Maurice Ravel. On the main menu shines 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. Never before has Skrjabin played with such luxuriant harmonies and tonal colors. The First Violin Concerto by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski is rarely heard in concert halls. With its rich sound palette, this modern hussar piece is perfectly suited to 'Laureate of the Queen Elizabeth Competition' Sylvia Huang.
