Ravel: Pavane pour une infante d茅funte
Schoenberg: Chamber Symphony No. 1

French soprano Nora Gubisch can trace her ancestry right back to Ravel's close friend Ricardo Vi帽es, and her lustrous voice and idiomatic style make her the ideal soloist for his orchestral songs, Sh茅h茅razade. We are treated to Schreker's iridescent overture for large orchestra and two poignant elegies by Busoni and Ravel before being plunged into the seething creative whirl of Schoenberg's masterpiece, the Chamber Symphony No. 1, in the version for large orchestra.
