RAVEL Piano Concerto in G major
The so-called “Roaring Twenties” unfurled as an explosion of ideas that reshaped cultural and political landscapes, artistic expression, and scientific frontiers. Music Director Franz Welser-Möst discusses Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major as a seminal work that captures the essence of the era. In the masterful hands of Víkingur Ólafsson, Ravel’s artful blend of classical traditions and jazz elements is as vibrant, diverse, and mind-expanding as the decade itself.
