Commissioned by Koussevitsky for the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Hindemith's exhilarating Concert Music for brass and strings opens the programme. Charismatic French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet joins the orchestra for Ravel's Piano Concerto in G a piece Ravel described as "classical" but which has at its centre a jazz-scented oasis of calm. Mahler's sunny Fourth Symphony with its concluding "child's view of heaven" sung by soprano Ruby Hughes, brings the concert to a calm close.
