**20TH CENTURYHIDDEN GEMSDISCOVERIES** GUARANTEED EMOTIONS

A long-time artistic partner of the orchestra—he was involved with it in selecting the Steinway of the Salle Philharmonique in Hamburg—the Argentine pianist Nelson Goerner returns to the OPRL in Rachmaninoff’s *Second Concerto*, a burning work in which virtuosity serves a broad, radiant and deeply Russian lyricism. Originally conceived for dance before becoming a symphonic fresco, Florent Schmitt’s *La tragédie de Salomé* (1912) combines the decadent legacy of Symbolism, the orchestral refinement of Debussy, and a rhythmic energy that anticipates the foundations of modernism, one year before *The Rite of Spring*. Its orientalising atmospheres are sumptuous, and Salome emerges as the sonic embodiment of desire and fate, magnificently expressed in every orchestral tension.
