RSNO: Denève Conducts Rite of Spring
Rioting followed the premiere of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, although it wasn't the music that caused it so much as Nijinsky's tights. At any rate, peace should reign over Barber's Violin Concerto with James Ehnes on violin, and Debussy's sultry Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.

RSNO - Denève Conducts Rite of Spring
Programme:
Debussy Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune Barber Violin Concerto Stravinsky Rite of Spring Stéphane Denève (CONDUCTOR) James Ehnes (VIOLIN) Royal Scottish National Orchestra With a sultry flute solo, Claude Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune opened an astonishing new world for western music. Two decades later, Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring blew that world sky-high – and audiences rioted! We don’t expect riots tonight, but one thing’s for sure: Stéphane Denève and the RSNO should deliver some serious voltage. Samuel Barber’s enthralling Violin Concerto will be the calm before the storm, and few play this piece quite as beautifully as James Ehnes.
