Concert | Musikfest Berlin 2022
The Philadelphia Orchestra
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, conductor
Dvořák | Szymanowski | Price
This year The Philadelphia Orchestra celebrates an important rediscovery. By programming Florence Price, the conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin features a composer whose works gained considerable attention in the USA in the Thirties and Forties by incorporating the echoes of the spirituals into a classic symphonic form. Pieces by Antonín Dvořák and Karol Szymanowski provide a rousing opening.
Please note that the live performance of Karol Szymanowski’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1 with violinist Lisa Batiashvili is not available in the media library.
