Ravel's piano repertoire is the centerpiece of this sublime concert featuring piano legend Martha Argerich and conducting great Lahav Shani. Witness the soulful interpretation of Ravel's Piano Concerto in G Major, a personal favorite of Argerich, which she has honed to virtuosic perfection over the years. Shani then joins her on the bench for a delightful four-hands rendition of selections from Ravel's whimsical Ma mère l’Oye suite.

Over the course of this program dedicated to early twentieth century masters, the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra showcases a work by Israeli great Paul Ben-Haim : his ambitious and monumental Symphony No. 1, composed and premiered during the Second World War. The concert opens with another modern masterpiece, Stravinsky's Firebird suite, in its 1919 version, a vivid and colorful adventure in sound inspired by the eponymous ballet.
