Program: 

Vivier: Orion      

Bartók: Piano Concerto No. 3 

Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 5

Orion for orchestra is one of the pieces that the short-lived Claude Vivier (he was murdered at 34)

completed after visiting Bali where he re-evaluated the role of the artist in society.  Composed for

Bartók’s wife, the Third Piano Concerto was left unfinished at his death. Drawing from the composer’s

notes, his friend Tibor Serly, Eugene Ormandy, and a few others orchestrated the final 17 bars.

Yefim Bronfman, who won a Grammy (with the LA Phil) for his recording of Bartók’s three piano

concertos, plays this light, airy, almost neoclassical work.

Tchaikovsky’s passionate Fifth Symphony mirrors Beethoven’s Fifth in its trajectory from tragedy to triumph.
