Sao Paolo Symphony Orchestra Opening Day: 1. concert
Philharmonie Berlin, Main Auditorium (Berlin)
In the opening concert the São Paulo Symphony Orchestra under Thierry Fischer demonstrates the broad range of art music from the many “Americas”: Charles Ives evokes New York’s Central Park, while Heitor Villa-Lobos explores the sound worlds of South American rhythms. The Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera’s Violin Concerto is given a spectacular rendition by Hilary Hahn. And in Edgard Varèse’s “Amériques”, the utopia of endless space finds spectacular sonic form.
