A member of the orchestra, composer Alain Celo deploys all the colors of the symphonic instrument in a creation depicting the red-orange rocks of the Grand Canyon in Colorado. Equally magnetic, the 1738 Guarneri del Gesu violin of Russian violinist Alena Baeva ignites Mozart’s Concerto No. 5, which heralds romantic masterpieces. Concluding a sumptuous program, Stravinsky’s The Firebird was the first masterpiece by the 27-year-old composer that stunned all of Paris in 1910.
