Long-standing and celebrated friend of the LPO, Hélène Grimaud, plays Ravel.
At a Shrovetide fair in old Russia, crowds bustle and laugh as they watch the puppets dance, love, fight and die. None of it really matters; they’re just toys – aren’t they? Stravinsky’s Petrushka astonished audiences in 1911, and 112 years on its colours are as bright (and its emotions as strong) as ever. Edward Gardner pairs it with another Technicolor tale of magic with a mind of its own (think Disney’s Fantasia) and welcomes back a long-standing and celebrated friend of the LPO, Hélène Grimaud, in Ravel’s swinging, scintillating Piano Concerto in G.
