DEBUSSY: Jeux PROKOFIEV: Piano Concerto No. 3 STRAVINSKY: The Rite of
Spring Beloved maestro and former Berkeley Symphony music director
Kent Nagano leads the Montreal Symphony Orchestra in a dynamic program
of early 20th-century works, including Debussy's sprightly Jeux and
Stravinsky's towering The Rite of Spring, composed within a year of
each other for Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. Pianist Daniil
Trifonov joins the full-bodied orchestra for Prokofiev's emotionally
expansive third piano concerto, a work he has performed to acclaim:
"he offered far more than mere virtuosity ... Trifonov demonstrated an
elegant touch and witty grace in more lighthearted moments and poetic
insight in more introspective passages" (The New York Times).
