Prague Royal Philharmonic: Gershwin / Bernstein / Ravelfeaturing Danae Dörken on piano, conducted by Heiko Mathias Förster
The internationally acclaimed pianist Danae Dörken captivates audiences with her brilliance and stylistic versatility on concert stages around the world. Composed not long after Ravel met Gershwin, the virtuosic Boléro also contains hints of jazz. With its hypnotic crescendo and its rhythmic, ostinato-driven build-up of tension, this is a significant composition, performed here by the Prague Royal Philharmonic with Heiko Mathias Förster at the baton.

An evening of great classical hits: timeless and groundbreaking masterpieces make for a truly exhilarating concert. Whilst the mambo rhythms from West Side Story heat up the concrete jungle of New York, Gershwin’s An American in Paris evokes the elegant magic of France’s capital. Gershwin’s dazzling kaleidoscope that is Rhapsody in Blue oscillates somewhere between jazz and symphonic, elegiac passages.
