Odeon of Herodes Atticus
The distinguished French conductor Pascal Rophé, who is much admired for his interpretations of 20th-century repertoire, leads the Athens State Orchestra in a delightful programme which includes two extremely well-known symphonic works by two of Hungary’s greatest composers: Zoltán Kodály and Béla Bartók. After the intermission, Ravel’s delicate orchestration reveals the magnificence and passion of one of the best-loved works of all time: Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition.
