Musical Retrospective
»At first I intended to call my work ›Divertissement.‹ Then I considered that it was not necessary, because the title 'Concerto' clearly enough captures the character of the music,« Maurice Ravel wrote of his G major Piano Concerto, which includes a tribute to Mozart. It was first performed in Paris in 1932, with Marguerite Long as soloist. In 1968, Martha Argerich performed Ravel's work for the first time at the Vienna Konzerthaus and caused a sensation with her brilliant interpretation on several occasions. In March, our honorary member will again perform Ravel with the Vienna Philharmonic, while Anton Bruckner's Seventh Symphony will be heard in the second half of the concert. It brought the composer his long-awaited breakthrough. During his lifetime, his symphonies were performed only 15 times in Vienna, 13 of them by the Vienna Philharmonic. Today, the Seventh is one of the great symphonist's most popular works.
