The Philadelphia Orchestra
Charles Dutoit, conductor
Jean-Yves Thibaudet, piano
Charles Dutoit leads a program of changing musical times, of beginnings and endings threaded with dancing. The concert begins with Ravel's jazzy Piano Concerto for Left Hand, which revived the career of Paul Wittgenstein, who lost an arm in World War I. That same war also signaled the end of the waltz as Europe's favorite dance form-and the concert ends with Ravel's glorious train-wreck of a waltz, full of Old World charm, Viennese melody, and modernity gone mad. In between come Rachmaninoff's last major orchestral work, in suitably dancing form, and one of Franz Liszt's most animated creations, the ''Dance of Death'' for piano and orchestra.
