Orchestre de la Suisse Romande

Conducted by Zofia Kiniorska, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande unfolds a richly coloured soundscape across four 20th-century works from the Russian, French and Swiss repertoire. Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony playfully upends 18th-century conventions, combining wit with razor‑sharp energy. Frank Martin’s Concerto for Seven Wind Instruments offers lucid, finely balanced polyphony where instrumental lines converse with clarity. Ravel’s writing turns more sensual in Le Tombeau de Couperin before the virtuosic brilliance of Tzigane closes the programme in a whirlwind of raw energy.
