WDR Happy Hour - Rachmaninow
In 1995, 24-year-old Thomas Adès premiered his opera 'Powder her Face,' satirizing the extravagant life of an upper-class lady. His music blends avant-garde and ironic quotes. Rachmaninoff's 'Symphonic Dances,' a farewell piece, is a symphony reflecting moments of his rich life as a composer and virtuoso.
