Constructed as an arch, this concert is framed by two early 20th-century French works that bear deeply evocative imagery: Dukas’ Orientalist enchantment and Debussy’s aquatic mirages. At its centre, pianist Daniil Trifonov performs two Russian concertos: one by Schnittke offering a remarkable play of textures and another by Prokofiev, unfurling with characteristic shifting atmospheres. Here is a richly coloured musical journey of contrasts and metamorphoses, conducted by Rafael Payare.
