Prom 14 | Duruflé, Ravel And Simon Holt by Holt, Simon, Ravel, Duruflé, De (2014/2014), Director musical Thierry Fischer, Royal Albert Hall, London, United Kingdom

The lilt of the waltz pulses through the first half of this programme – first in Ravel’s modernist reimagining in Valses nobles et sentimentales, and then in his witty La valse. French music takes a sacred turn after the interval with Duruflé’s Requiem, and elsewhere Swiss flute virtuoso Emmanuel Pahud premieres Simon Holt’s concerto Morpheus Wakes.
