Charles Dutoit conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in Poulenc's Gloria and Ravel's Daphnis et Chlo茅.
Charles Dutoit, Principal Conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, is renowned for his interpretations of 20th-century music. Tonight's concert offers an opportunity to hear him guide the RPO through Ravel's complete ballet Daphnis et Chlo茅 -
an evocative, sensual masterpiece, full of precisely articulated colours and seductive sonorities.
Also performed is Poulenc's Gloria - one of his finest works, brimming with rich harmony, sinuous melodies and rhythmic verve.
Dutoit and the RPO are joined by the Philharmonia Chorus and soprano Nicole Cabell for this programme of glorious French music.
