Description

ROY THOMSON HALL
Sir Andrew Davis, conductor
Simon Rivard, RBC Resident Conductor (overture only)
Louis Lortie, piano

Rossini: Overture to William Tell
Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto No. 4
Jordan Pal: Colour of Chaos (World Première)
Respighi: Pines of Rome

Respighi’s spectacular tone poem Pines of Rome takes the listener on a tour of the “eternal” city’s sights and milestones: children play merrily in a park, a chant-like elegy rises from an ancient tomb, a nightingale sings sweetly by moonlight, and the tread of an imperial army rises to a glorious climax. Louis Lortie meets the abundant challenges of Saint-Saëns’s most virtuosic piano concerto, and Sir Andrew Davis and the Orchestra launch a new work by Canadian composer Jordan Pal.
