Ravel á la Nash
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Maurice Ravel wrote his Basque-influenced Piano Trio in A Minor while serving as a volunteer truck driver during the First World War. We'll hear a lively performance of it tonight from the Nash Ensemble.
Also, two very different but equally enjoyable Symphonies. Gerard Schwarz leads the Seattle Symphony Orchestra in Howard Hanson's lushly descriptive Symphony No. 2 (aptly called the "Romantic" Symphony). And we'll hear the young but brilliant Beethoven forging his own voice in the wake of classicism with his Symphony No. 1 in C; Kurt Masur conducts the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig.
