Interval
Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3 in C major 30
Ravel La valse 13 |
| Performance Notes | Prokofievs Third Piano Concerto isnt just a surefire showpiece that paints a vivid picture of its creators acerbic spirit, its also a treacherously difficult work conceived for Prokofievs 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 Debussys symphonic seascape La mer. It culminates in the waltz to end all waltzes: Ravels compelling, nightmarish piece of orchestral theatre, La valse.
