The Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenmnet's 2010/2011 season ends with a bang as they bring their Principal Artist Sir Simon Rattle and the renowned pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard to London, following a European Tour.
The concert features four masterpieces rarely heard on period instruments, with all the added clarity and energy that they can bring. The evening concludes with Debussy’s powerful and sublimely detailed evocation of the sea, it’s almost like seeing a picture painted in front of your eyes, but by an orchestra rather than an artist.
