Les Dissonances & David Grimal

Les Dissonances is a collective of artists founded by violinist David Grimal in 2004. The conductorless ensemble consists of musicians from the most prestigious European orchestras, international soloists, and young talents. In this performance, Les Dissonances present Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 2 in D major, Op. 73. Whereas it took the composer over a decade to complete his first symphony, he penned his Symphony No. 2 in just a few months, during his summer sojourn in the restful Austrian village of Pörtschach in 1877. Nicknamed his ‘Pastoral' symphony, the work is arguably the most sunny and optimistic of Brahms's four symphonies. Lyrical in character, it features joyful melodies. This performance was recorded at Philharmonie de Paris, France, in 2015.

Ballets de Monte Carlo

Ballets de Monte Carlo

Sergei Prokofiev based his ballet ‘Romeo and Juliet' on William Shakespeare's famous play of the same name, telling the story of two young lovers from the feuding families Montague and Capulet. Acclaimed French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot created a distinctive choreography of the ballet in 1996, which has been performed to great success the world over. In his production, Maillot interprets Romeo and Juliet not as a social conflict or clan warfare governed by a strict code of honor, but as a tale of accidental tragedy that leads to the death of children more concerned with the path of love than that of hatred. This 2002 interpretation is performed by the dancers of Les Ballets de Monte Carlo. Chris Roelandt and Bernice Coppieters star in the title roles.

Les Arts Florissants & Paul Agnew

Les Arts Florissants & Paul Agnew

Italian composer Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643) composed nine books of madrigals in half a century, which helped transform the genre from the polyphonic, a cappella madrigals of the late Renaissance to the ‘concertato' madrigals of the early Baroque, shifting the style's focus to the ability of music to express emotions contained in a text. In 2011, British tenor Paul Agnew and renowned Baroque ensemble Les Arts Florissants started recording eight books of Monteverdi's madrigals. In this program, Agnew leads Les Arts Florissants in the madrigals of Book III. Published in 1592, the book contains twenty madrigals for five voices. This performance was recorded at the Cité de la musique in Paris, France, in 2012.

Les Dissonances is a collective of artists founded by violinist David Grimal in 2004. The conductorless ensemble consists of musicians from the most prestigious European orchestras, international soloists, and young talents. In this performance, Les Dissonances perform Johannes Brahms's Symphony No. 4 in E minor, Op. 98. Brahms completed his last symphony in 1885. He conducted the successful premiere of the piece in the German city of Meiningen in October of the same year. The symphony's finale movement is a chaconne, a variation form that reflects the composer's fascination with Baroque music. In this movement, Brahms borrowed an 8-measure theme from J. S. Bach's cantata ‘Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich', BWV 150. The movement opens with the theme and then presents a set of variations all set over the same repeated theme in the bass. This performance was recorded at Opéra de Dijon, France, in 2014.

Stephanie Childress, Alina Ibragimova & London Symphony Orchestra

Stephanie Childress conducts the London Symphony Orchestra and Sibelius and Mendelssohn provide the soundtrack for this unique concert with a distinctly Northern European flavor, live from London's LSO St Luke's. The evening begins with Jean Sibelius's En Saga, a symphonic poem that, like its composer, has become a defining figure of Finnish national musical identity. On the other side of the Baltic, it took Mendelssohn six years to complete his famed Violin Concerto—and it was well worth the wait, as violin virtuoso Alina Ibragimova's powerhouse rendition will demonstrate! The concert ends in style with two short works from Finland: Lumière et pesanteur by the fabulous Kaija Saariaho—ranked the world's greatest living composer by BBC Music Magazine—and another work by the endlessly inventive Sibelius, the spirited and episodic Cassazione.
