Ravel’s Bolero

Sparkle, high spirits, and lovely melodies dominate Bizet’s youthful Symphony in C major, while Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski joins the Symphony with two energized works filled with sizzling rhythms and lyrical passion—Ginastera’s surging Concierto Argentino and Albéniz’s Rapsodia española, a dance festival that includes flamencos, jotas, and malagueñas. Ravel’s celebrated Boléro showcases the orchestra with its hypnotic repetition of a single tune with progressively more elaborate—and louder—instrumentation.
