RESPIGHIGli uccelli (The Birds)
SAINT-SAËNSCarnival of the Animals
TCHAIKOVSKYSymphony No.4
In Respighi’s charming suite, the music of baroque composers is
revisited in each delicate portrait of a dove, a hen, a nightingale
and a cuckoo. Outstanding young pianists Lio Kuok-wai and Lio
Kuok-man join forces in Saint-Saëns’s playful and exuberant parade
of the animal kingdom in which he pokes out his tongue at a few
composers of the 19th Century, including Rossini and Mendelssohn.
The looming shadow of fate is cast over the whole Tchaikovsky’s
Fourth Symphony from its menacing opening fanfare, but the
symphony’s frenetic final pages ultimately manage to escape destiny
in a desperate race at breakneck speed.
