Lnso Season Closing Concert by Maskats, Dutilleux, Vasilyevich Rachmaninoff, 从 (2022/2022), 导体 Andris Poga, Great Guild, Riga, Latvia

Another beautiful, music-filled season of the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra is coming to an end! Exactly 30 years ago, the Latvian National Symphony Orchestra and conductor Imants Resnis premiered Cantus diatonicus, the graduation work of the then still young composition student Arturs Maskats. The anniversary of the opus will be celebrated at the closing concert of the LNSO's 96th season under the baton of conductor Andris Poga. The special concert programme will also feature a guest appearance by the young French cellist of international renown Edgar Moreau. He will join the LNSO to offer the audience a true gem of postmodern music - the cello concerto Tout un monde lointain... (A whole distant world...), composed by Henri Dutilleux around 1970 and inspired by Charles Baudelaire's famous poetry collection The Flowers of Evil. This work by Dutilleux is considered one of the most brilliant cello concertos of the 20th century. Finally, Sergei Rachmaninoff's Third Symphony will immerse us in rich and breathtaking music, almost lifting the audience off the ground.
