Oslo Philharmonic: Yuja Wang plays Ravel
Pianist Yuja Wang joins the Oslo Philharmonic for a programme of 20th-century masterpieces by Ravel and Shostakovich.
Yuja Wang brings her exceptional musicianship to Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Piano Concerto in G. She performs with the Oslo Philharmonic and its Chief Conductor, Klaus Mäkelä.
Maurice Ravel composed his Piano Concerto for the Left Hand for Paul Wittgenstein after he lost his right arm in the First World War. Ravel created a score in which the orchestra’s rich textures support a solo part of extraordinary virtuosity. Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G combines melodies inspired by his Basque roots with the fashionable style he found irresistible: jazz. This concert represents a rare opportunity to hear both concertos performed together.
Klaus Mäkelä has a special affinity with the music of Shostakovich, drawing from the Oslo Philharmonic’s range of sound – from fragility to colossal power – in the composer’s Fifth Symphony.
a breathtaking account of the work, virtuosic on every level, both pianistic and orchestral
