Parisian dreams Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest

A singing mermaid, a shadowy field of gallows, a swift goblin: Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit is a triptych of dream images made into sound. Originally written for piano, this piece now reveals its deepest secrets in Bart Visman's orchestration. Sparkling music that could not have been created anywhere else than in Paris, ville lumière, city of Boulanger, Saint-Saëns, and also a bit of Stravinsky.
