IPO @ 70
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The Israel Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates seventy years of music-making this month with two weeks of gala performances. We'll offer our own salute to this historic ensemble with a stunning 1968 performance of Ernest Bloch's Hebrew Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra, "Schelomo," featuring Janos Starker.
Also, Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an Exhibition" has been arranged and re-arranged for everything from Classical Orchestra (fourteen times) to Classic Rock Ensemble (Emerson, Lake and Palmer). Originally written for piano (over a mere twenty-day period), we'll hear it later on in the popular orchestration by Maurice Ravel.
