What connects a symphonic poem, a concerto and a literary symphony? Perfection. This concert will feature three works whose elemental influence has not changed over the centuries.

Although Mussorgsky has never seen a film in his life, his music is surprisingly pictorial, impressive and thrilling. Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante for wind solos is less frequently heard, but it convinces us that Mozart was brilliant across all instruments and forms. Liszt's Dante Symphony transformed the Divine Comedy into divine music, even into a realist psychodrama, which, after the trauma of hell and the slow spiritual healing of purgatory, reaches the gentle absolution of the Magnificat. The world is not perfect. But in music, you can tell about it almost perfectly!
