‘Scheherazade’

17 Feb.'20
- 20:00

Jan Latham-Koenig - Kurt Bertels

Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen​​​​​​​
Jan Latham-Koenig, conductor
Kurt Bertels, saxophonist

Program:

Anatoly Liadov | The enchanted more, op. 62
Paul Gilson | Saxophone concertos no. 1 & 2
Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov | Scheherazade, op. 35

Not without reason, Scheherazade is one of the greatest blockbusters of classical music. Enchanting colours embedded in a sensual oriental atmosphere: a guilty pleasure that is second to none. The Enchanted Lake by Anatoly Liadov also makes you dream away effortlessly. The Belgian Gilson composed the very first saxophone concerto in history. Kurt Bertels, Flanders’ youngest saxophone prodigy, brings the necessary guts to this virtuoso score. A world’s first!
