Their concert opens with Tristano's arrangement for two pianos of Ravel's perennially popular Bol?ro. Ravel's own arrangement of two of Debussy's vivid Nocturnes is followed by the former's cataclysmic post-World War I take on the Viennese waltz, La Valse. Tristano's A Soft Shell Groove Suite showcases the composer's music with its eclectic range of influences. And to close, he and Ott perform the two-piano version of Stravinsky's iconoclastic ballet The Rite of Spring, a work that changed the musical world forever. | |
