More Information:

Orchestral color rules this program, where you can hear three works that exalt in a compelling array of sounds. Stravinsky’s scherzo is a quicksilver, playful romp, after which Dutilleux provides a meditative interlude inspired by Van Gogh’s La nuit étoilée. And for a grand finale, The Planets—one of the most spectacular of all orchestral showpieces—will be brought to vivid life with a new HD film, in which we’ll see images from NASA’s exploration of the solar system.
