Carmina Burana & Bolero With Prague Royal Philharmonic

Dear Members

An evening of ever popular classics, the programme includes Maurice Ravel’s electrifying Boléro, Alexander P. Borodin’s rousing Polovtsian Dances and Carl Orff’s magnificent Carmina Burana.
Even though Boléro and Carmina Burana were composed just seven years apart, the contrasts between them are as striking as their similarities. Maurice Ravel’s dance, consisting of just one movement, draws on two musical ideas that are repeated over and over again. In a gradual crescendo that spans the entire piece, it begins mystically and meditatively and ends in powerful ecstasy.

Meditation and ecstasy also characterise Carl Orff’s global evergreen: As well as concise rhythms, it is also the melodic and harmonic richness that imbue the work with its inimitable magic. The musical journey through Spain and to the medieval Benediktbeuern abbey ends with Alxander P. Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances from Prince Igor.
