Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia

A typically stimulating and adventurous Salonen programme, from the exoticism of Debussy and Ravel, via Respighi's Pines of Rome, to Berio's Folk Songs and Franco Donatoni's ESA.

Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the Philharmonia Orchestra in a typically stimulating and adventurous concert. The sultry and exotic suffuses both the Spain of Debussy's Ib茅ria and the Asia of Ravel's set of three songs, Sh茅h茅razade. Respighi's Pines of Rome weaves an evocative scenic spell ending in ancient Rome, and two later 20th century Italians complete the evening. Berio's Folk Songs traverse the globe, from the US to Azerbaijan but most personal to Salonen is Donatoni's final work ESA, named after and dedicated to him by the composer.

Presented by Martin Handley, live from the Royal Festival Hall.
