Maestro 8: Concerto for Orchestra featuring orchestra member Jason Redman

A stunning display of each instrument in a program touching on folk rhythms to jazzy riffs

Conductor Gábor Káli returns by popular demand for a program which turns every member of the orchestra into soloists, showcasing their musicality and skill. Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra mingles his characteristic folk elements with a familiar classicism, drawing out the vibrant best of each instrument family in turn.

Clarinettist Pierre Génisson joins for Stravinsky’s colourful flirtation with jazz, Ebony Concerto, a swinging display of virtuosity and the gorgeous timbre of the clarinet.

The program is completed with Bernstein’s irresistibly jazzy Prelude, Fugue and Riffs, written for the same big band as Stravinsky’s piece, and Bartók’s countryman Kodály’s exotic Dances of Galánta.
