Musical highpoints Greek Revolution - 50 years from Stravinsky's death
A new work commissioned by the Athens State Orchestra from the leading composer Christos Samaras pays tribute to a momentous anniversary for Greece: the bicentenary of the 1821 Revolution. But 2021 is also the fiftieth anniversary of the death of a great 20th-century musical pioneer, Igor Stravinsky. The distinguished violinist, Antonis Sousamoglou, performs his Violin Concerto, proving that Stravinsky's music has lost none of its ability to grab our attention. The concert ends with Tchaikovsky's delightful Francesca da Rimini, conducted by the prolific Italian maestro, Pier Carlo Orizio.
