Konzerthausorchester Berlin, Iván Fischer

Leonard Bernstein combined classical music, jazz, show music and folk music from various communities. The songs from his vibrant New York Romeo and Juliet story „West Side Story“ have been loved by audiences since 1957. George Gershwin also combines classical concertos and jazz, and his music has found a home on Broadway and in Carnegie Hall. Pianist Kirill Gerstein performs Gershwin's world hit „Rhapsody in Blue“ as a soloist with the Konzerthausorchester under Iván Fischer. From the New World, we travel to old Europe, to France. However, nothing sounds old here: Darius Milhaud's cheerful „Ox on the Roof“, driven by Brazilian rhythms, which of course sounds much more elegant as the French „boeuf sur le toit“, is followed by two of Erik Satie's meditative piano miniatures arranged for orchestra. Finally, eerie undertones pervade Maurice Ravel's „La Valse“. First performed in 1920, this waltz is both a dance of death and an ironic homage to the 19th century.

George Gershwin also combines classical concert and jazz, and his music is at home on Broadway and in Carnegie Hall.
