Thibaudet Plays Saint-Saëns

Conductor Lionel Bringuier begins our magical journey in Norway where mythical trolls exist. Peer Gynt’s wanderings end happily when his faithful Solvieg awaits him in Grieg’s evocative Peer Gynt Suite No. 1. Saint-Saëns then takes us to Egypt with his exotic Fifth Piano Concerto, with impressions of croaking frogs and toads and chirping Nile crickets, performed by top French pianist Jean-Yves Thibaudet. Our tour concludes with Shostakovich’s Sixth Symphony and its references to the famous Galop from Rossini’s William Tell.
