The Firebird Suite (1945)
Young German conductor/composer Matthais Pintscher makes his Grand Teton Music Festival debut in performances steeped in Spanish folk songs and musical traditions and inspired by legends of mythological proportions. Who better to join him for such an endeavor than the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, who consider themselves “the children of the Romeros” – the world-famous guitar quartet for whom Rodrigo composed the Concierto Andaluz. Then the conductor’s own work, Towards Osiris uses the orchestra to tell the tale of the Egyptian god and his dramatic restoration through the winged goddess, Isis. To end the program, Stravinsky’s thrilling Firebird Suite, the popular ballet score that gives life to the story of the magical glowing bird that brings both blessings and doom to its captor with music that is equally mysterious, whimsical and electrifying.
