WDR Happy Hour – Rachmaninow
In 1995, 24-year-old Thomas Adès caused a stir with his opera "Powder her Face," a satirical portrayal of an extravagant upper-class lady. Adès's music blends avant-garde and ironic quotes, combining catchiness with imagination. Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances," a farewell work, is a symphony disguised as a harmless title, reflecting moments of a rich composer's life.
