No composer of our day captures the wonders of science like Philip Glass, whose The Light draws inspiration from a landmark experiment involving the speed of light. No less imaginative is Poulenc’s Double Concerto, which references everything from Mozart and jazz to Balinese gamelan sounds. It highlights Dutch brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen, who play as one, “blazing along the keyboard with precision and breathtaking dynamism” (Bachtrack). Closing the program is Tchaikovsky’s Second Symphony, which quotes Ukrainian folk tunes using lustrous orchestral colors.
