Three of the best-known French works of the 20th-century under the baton of Alexandros Myrat, a conductor with a profound knowledge of the repertoire: the impassioned and virtuosic Alborada del gracioso [The morning song of the jester], Ravel’s sensual Boléro and Poulenc’s shimmering Concerto for two pianos, performed by the French-trained soloist Natalia Michailidou and her son, Kornelios Michailidis. The programme features a second concerto, the Telluric Dances by Christos Hatzis, the Greek-born composer who is now a naturalized Canadian citizen, which “takes the tonalities and forms of traditional Greek and Balkan dances as its starting point”.
