Deemed to be one of the most finely wrought in the repertoire by a number of specialists, Ravel’s Concerto for the Left Hand is a true challenge for the soloist, the left hand sometimes giving the illusion of replacing three others. It will be performed by Benedetto Lupo, a student of Aldo Ciccolini and Murray Perahia. Principal guest conductor of the Violons du Roy, Jean-Marie Zeitouni, will also lead the OSM in Bartok’s Dance Suite for orchestra. Boulez’s Livre pour cordes and the suite from Stravinsky’s popular ballet Petrushka complete de program.
