UTC+02:00Location
Bozar | Brussels, BU
Martinu, Stravinsky & Ravel
In poker terms, you might call this programme a βthree of a kindβ. Stravinskyβs ballet Jeu de Cartes from 1937 shows how the highest cards, i.e. the most important people, can be beaten by the lower ranks. In a year when dictators were putting the finishing touches to their destructive plans, the message was clear. The Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest and Santtu-Matias Rouvali tame the tumultuous, rhythmic score. At their invitation, Queen of Hearts Sol Gabetta plays MartinΕ―βs Cello Concerto, a cordial meeting between Bohemia and France. Ravel wrote one of the most beautiful odes to the morning in music history with Lever du jour from Daphnis et ChloΓ©. Think breakfast in bed β with champagne!
