BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 in Concert, Edinburgh International Festival 2015, Philharmonia Orchestra - Ravel, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky

The Philharmonia and Pierre-Laurent Aimard in music by Ravel, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky.

Philharmonia Orchestra under Esa-Pekka Salonen. Ravel: Mother Goose Suite; Piano Concerto in G (with Pierre-Laurent Aimard). Stravinsky: Petrushka. Tchaikovsky: Francesca da Rimini.

In the second of four broadcasts from the 2015 Edinburgh International Festival, the pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard performs Ravel's Piano Concerto in G.
The concert begins with Ravel's Mother Goose Suite and the story-telling theme continues after the interval with Stravinsky's ballet Petrushka, whose piano figures evoke the rogue puppet of the title in one of the twentieth century's most charismatic orchestral scores.
Russian music of the 19th century provides a dramatic conclusion to the concert: Tchaikovsky's Dante-inspired symphonic poem, Francesca da Rimini.

Recorded at the Usher Hall, Edinburgh
