Upplev de hedniska riterna i Stravinskys Våroffer, toner som en gång välte musikvärlden över ända när Santtu-Matias Rouvali dirigerar Göteborgs Symfoniker.

Baletten Våroffer ändrade musikhistoriens gång och skapade skandal 1913 med sina spännande rytmer och nyskapande språk. Tumultet överröstade musiken och 40 personer ur publiken måste köras ut. Det var både koreografin, scenografin och musiken som upprörde. Idag är det mångas favorit, inte minst efter att Disney lät dinosaurier dansa till den hedniska ritualmusiken i filmen Fantasia 1940.

Och historien skulle tacka Stravinsky. Våroffer blev en av de tre baletter jämte Eldfågeln och Petrusjka som satte tonsättaren på musikkartan för alltid.

Kvällen inleds med Rachmaninovs pianokonsert nr 2 med prisade kanadensiske pianisten Bruce Liu, tidigare vinnare av Chopintävlingen. Det var den andra pianokonserten från 1901 som beredde väg för Sergej Rachmaninovs världsberömmelse som pianist. Konserten har gått till historien som en av de mest älskade och melodiösa, liksom virtuost utmanande. I populärkulturen fick den sin givna plats när melodin i andra satsen, adagio sostenuto, plagierades av sångaren Eric Carmen i hans powerballad “All by myself”.

Experience the pagan rites of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, notes that once turned the music world upside down when Santtu-Matias Rouvali conducts the Gothenburg Symphony.

The ballet Rite of Spring changed the course of musical history and created a scandal in 1913 with its exciting rhythms and innovative language. The commotion drowned the music and 40 people from the audience had to be escorted out. It was both the choreography, the scenography and the music that upset. Today it is the favorite of many, not least after Disney had dinosaurs dance to the pagan ritual music in the film Fantasia in 1940.

And history would thank Stravinsky. The Rite of Spring became one of the three ballets, along with The Firebird and Petrushka, that put the composer on the music map forever.

The evening begins with Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No. 2 with acclaimed Canadian pianist Bruce Liu, former winner of the Chopin Competition. It was the Second Piano Concerto from 1901 that paved the way for Sergei Rachmaninov’s world fame as a pianist. The concert has gone down in history as one of the most beloved and melodious, as well as virtuosically challenging. In popular culture, it went far when the melody in the second movement (adagio sostenuto) was copied by the singer Eric Carmen in his power ballad “All by myself”.
