Simon Rattle and Emanuel Ax

“New worlds on earth, in the sky, or in the minds of men”: Edgard Varèse intended to convey all of that in his famous Amèriques. A similar intention is recognisable at this concert with Simon Rattle and Emanuel Ax. Familiar works by Debussy, Ravel and Franck can be heard in a completely new light by being juxtaposed against discoveries by Betsy Jolas and Percy Grainger – an exciting musical journey.
