An invitation to families to join Ravel鈥檚 dizzying reinvention of the waltz and his hypnotic meditation on the Spanish bolero dance, beaten out by snare drum over a vast span. That same drum plays a sinister role in Nielsen鈥檚 magnificent Fifth Symphony, its obsessive battering threatening to break up the orchestra鈥檚 performance in a thrilling battle. The second movement plunges us into a swinging sea of perpetual motion, where a sense of metric time is lost in the shining surge. Acclaimed Georgian pianist Alexander Toradze performs Prokofiev鈥檚 most elegant and ethereal piano concerto, the glowing third.
