Petrushka

 

Petrushka concert. Sir Simon Rattle conducts the Berliner Philharmoniker at the 2018 Easter Festival in Baden-Baden. Features Mezzo-Soprano Elīna Garanča. (We call this the Petrushka concert because Petrushka is the longest of the 4 pieces played.) The entire concert is as follows:

  • Alban Berg Sieben frühe Lieder (Garanča)

  • Ravel Shéhérazade

  • Richard Strauss Don Juan

  • Stravinsky Petrushka
