SUMMARY:Stravinsky and Rachmaninov
DESCRIPTION:One of the composer’s most popular works\, Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony (1906-07) was written during his three-year stay in Dresden\, away from the political tumult in Russia that would lead to revolution. After revising his drafts extensively\, Rachmaninov conducted the première in 1908 to widespread acclaim\, restoring the confidence that had been shattered by the hostile reaction to his First Symphony nine years earlier. \nLasting around 60 minutes\, the work is a formidable piece\, opening with a dramatic first movement and a vigorous but lyrical scherzo. The critic Alfred J. Swan notes that\, at a time when composers were “preoccupied with tone colours\, Rachmaninov’s genius manifested itself in the shaping of renewed melodic form”\, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the famous Adagio\, with its beautiful melody for violins and solo clarinet. The work concludes with an exultant\, radiant finale. \nThe orchestra also performs Stravinsky’s ballet Agon (1953-57) – a Greek word meaning “contest” but also “anguish”. Its long gestation period encompassed the composer’s shift in musical style\, so the piece both reflects his diatonic idiom and introduces his 12-tone technique. The work is a series of dance movements\, some based on 17th-century French court dances such as the sarabande. \n\nDuration: around 1 hour 45 mins (including interval)
