INTERVAL
Gyorgy Ligeti Atmospheres
Igor Stravinsky
The Rite of Spring
Vladimir Jurowskiconductor
Christian Tetzlaffviolin
First Igor Stravinsky reappraised rhythm: thrusting it into the foreground as the dominant force of his ballet score The Rite
of Spring, creating a fiery picture of ritual sacrifice far from the palace-bound romance that went before. It seemed music
had changed forever. Until, that was, the arrival of Gyorgy Ligeti, whose Atmospheres reassessed even the concept of the musical
'note', creating otherwise unattainable 'atmospheres' through continuous, captivating sonorities.
Mambo, Blues and Tarantella is commissioned by the London Philharmonic Orchestra in collaboration with the Stockholm Philharmonic
and Toronto Symphony Orchestras.
Royal Festival Hall at 6.15pm: Vladimir Jurowski talks to Edward
Seckerson about the evening's concert and the season to come. Admission free.
