Daniel Pioro is our guide for an exploration of time through music by Vivaldi and Grisey, featuring narration by author Michael Morpurgo.

This concert by the London Sinfonietta and violinist Daniel Pioro focuses on our perceptions of time, through two very different yet complementary masterpieces.

The first half, which features specially created writing by Michael Morpurgo, sets out to explore ‘nature time’ in Vivaldi’s iconic series of violin concertos, The Four Seasons.

The second half is devoted to Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum, a work that takes us through three time frames: ‘normal’, human time, the ‘expanded’ time of whales and the ‘compressed’ time of birds, via this pioneering spectralist composer’s virtuoso imagination.

This late masterwork fulfilled Grisey’s vision of a music that transfigures our experience of time. On a symphonic scale, revealing dizzying dances and lavish harmonic language, the music carries us on a journey through boundary-breaking sound-worlds.
