Thibaudet plays Saint-Saëns
Jean-Yves Thibaudet plays Saint-Saëns's Fifth Piano Concerto with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on Friday, April 2, at 10:45 a.m. at Orchestra Hall in Detroit. Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture opens the program. Tickets run $20.95 to $110.25.
The program is a tour through Rome and beyond. Berlioz's Roman Carnival Overture kicks things off, then Thibaudet takes on Saint-Saëns's Fifth Piano Concerto, one of his own favorites, full of vivid colors and harmonies. Bach's majestic Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, seen through Respighi's kaleidoscope, brings it to a jubilant close.
