Intermission

Igor Stravinsky: The Firebird Suite

Music is, without a doubt, a universal language, and through it, the people of the world can express themselves and understand one another. Takemitsu found a connection between the strictly defined Japanese culture and French impressionism. In many of his songs, Ravel was interested in non-Western musical cultures. His two Hebrew melodies do not seek authenticity, but rather the magic of an ancient culture. In the same way, Kaija Saariaho’s Leino Songs explore the Finnish artistic pursuit of beauty and harmony dating back over a century. In The Firebird, Stravinsky immersed himself in the world of Russian fairy tales and found there the seed of modernism.
