About the Music

This two-soloist program led by James Levine features French pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard in two colorful works. Ravel wrote his Piano Concerto for the left hand in 1929-30 at the request of pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm in World War I. Aimard also plays the single-movement Dialogues for piano and orchestra (2003) by Elliott Carter, a composer with whom the pianist has worked frequently in recent years. BSO principal violist Steven Ansell is soloist in Berlioz’s “symphony” for viola and orchestra, Harold in Italy. Ravel’s Suite No. 2 from the ballet Daphnis et Chloé, a lush and glorious orchestral showpiece, closes the concert.
