In ecstasy with Ravel, Szymanowski and Skrjabin

Ravel / Szymanowski / Skrjabin An endless sound world unfolds. In the early twentieth century, composers searched for deeper expressivity. 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 is a joyful hymn to life. In his world-famous sound poem Le Poème de l'Extase, Russian composer Aleksandr Skrjabin paints a mystical vision for orchestra. As never before, Skrjabin plays with lush harmonies and sound colors. The First Violin Concerto by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski is rarely to be experienced in concert halls. With its rich sound palette, this modern hussar piece is a perfect fit for 'Laureate of the Queen Elizabeth Competition' Sylvia Huang.
