Paavo Järvi and Lang Lang

The joyous wind sounds, easy-going jazz motifs and Basque folk music in Maurice Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major create a colourful mix. The second movement, which begins with a dreamlike meditation by the solo piano, is a highlight. This work allows star pianist Lang Lang to demonstrate all aspects of his skills. Paavo Järvi also presents Hans Rott’s lyrical First Symphony. Its tonal language reveals influences from Rott’s teacher Bruckner and echoes of the music of his fellow student Mahler.
