Icelandic pianist Víkingur Ólafsson will perform Mozart’s exquisitely sophisticated Concerto no. 24. Elegance is also epitomized in Ravel’s ballet suite Ma mère l’Oye (Mother Goose Suite), a series of portraits that are as charming as they are magical. In the second half, a change of atmosphere blusters in with Shostakovich’s tempestuous Tenth Symphony, haunted by the ghost of Stalin.
