John Adams conducts the London Symphony Orchestra in the European premiere of his City Noir, along with music by Debussy, Ravel and Stravinsky.
Described by one critic as "a half-hour roller-coaster of a piece", John Adams's latest symphonic work draws on the moody ambience of classic film noir from the 1940s and 50s, evoking its sleaze, threat and moments of sudden panic along with its romance.
Young American pianist Jeremy Denk is soloist in Stravinsky's neoclassical Piano Concerto and two sets of orchestrated piano pieces complete the programme: Ravel's own orchestration of his Valses Nobles et Sentimentales, and Colin Matthews' orchestral renderings of some of Debussy's Preludes.
