Experience a spectacular night of French masterpieces, live from the Auckland Town Hall. Conductor Jun Märkl leads a journey from the sun-drenched exoticism of Saint-Saëns' 'Egyptian' Concerto, featuring virtuosic pianist Javier Perianes, to the lush, mythical world of Ravel's complete ballet, Daphnis et Chloé. Featuring the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs, this recording captures an unforgettable evening of vibrant orchestral color and thrilling drama, from the banks of the Nile to a climactic bacchanale.
