RPO Germany Tour - Frankfurt

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra led by Vasily Petrenko, play at the Alte Oper opening with with Mussorgsky’s Night on the Bare Mountain, where the composer battles his demons in ways that are spine-tingling. Next, Sibelius’ Violin Concerto brings the fire and ice of windswept landscapes, demanding both virtuosity and emotion from the soloist. The program concludes with Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra, a spectacular work that goes beyond its colorful orchestration to depict a profound struggle between darkness and light, ultimately crowned by a triumphant shout of joy.
