A rare symphonic evening where the power of the orchestra meets the poetry of the viola and the magic of Ravel. Maestro Valery Polyansky and violist Sergey Poltavsky present a program capable of captivating, surprising, and moving the audience. A dive into the symphonic drama from Berlioz to Ravel's ballet fantasy "Daphnis and Chloe," which is unforgettable. This evening at the P. I. Tchaikovsky Concert Hall is a true musical spectacle, where every chord is filled with drama, emotions, and history. The State Academic Symphony Chapel of Russia, Maestro Valery Polyansky, and one of the brightest violists in the country - Sergey Poltavsky - will perform before the audience. The program will open with Hector Berlioz's work "Harold in Italy." This is a symphony with a solo viola, inspired by the poem of George Byron. At its center is the image of a lonely wanderer passing through gloomy, majestic, and picturesque landscapes. The viola here is the voice of the hero, his thoughts and feelings, against the backdrop of a rich orchestral palette. This is a rare and dramatic piece where the instrument becomes a full-fledged storyteller. The second block of the program is a whole world of Ravel. First, "Bolero" will be performed - a legendary piece built on a hypnotic rhythm and slowly building tension. It is recognized from the first notes, but in a live performance, it sounds with a completely different intensity: each instrument adds its voice until everything culminates in an emotional climax. Next is the "Waltz," a musical poem where the classical dance transforms into a passionate whirlwind filled with tension and expression. The evening will conclude with a suite from the ballet "Daphnis and Chloe" - one of the most picturesque and beautiful scores in the history of music, conveying both intimacy and grandeur of the ancient Greek myth. Special attention should be paid to the interpretation - under the direction of Valery Polyansky, the music sounds not like familiar scores, but as true dramaturgy. He knows how to reveal nuances, give breath to the works, and engage the listener in every twist of the musical narrative.
