BBC Proms: Benjamin Grosvenor Plays Ravel
Royal Albert Hall, SW7 2AP , [Venue Details]A jazz band and a symphony orchestra meet in the zany, psychedelic groovings of Sofia Gubaidulina’s Revue Music for Symphony Orchestra and Jazz Band – the keystone of a concert that brings these two 20th-century sound-worlds together.
Jazz is represented by the syncopated brilliance and supple beauty of Ravel’s Piano Concerto in G major, performed by Proms favourite and former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist Benjamin Grosvenor. Shostakovich supplies the symphony – the snarling, sometimes shockingly tender ‘Babi Yar’, bearing witness to the horrors of a Nazi massacre of Jews in Soviet Ukraine.
