Prom 46: Daniel Barenboim and the West–Eastern Divan Orchestra
19:30
Wed 20 Aug 2014
Royal Albert Hall
The West–Eastern Divan Orchestra returns with Daniel Barenboim for a Spanish-themed evening. We open outside Seville in Mozart’s breathless Figaro overture, before drifting into dreams with Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole. Dreams give way to dance in Ravel’s µþ´Ç±ôé°ù´Ç and his Pavane pour une infante défunte. Also included are two works composed for the orchestra – Kareem Roustom’s Ramal and Ayal Adler’s Resonating Sounds – both exploring the musical junctions of East and West.
