Jean Sibelius: Aallottaret (The Oceanides), Op.73
Alexey Shor: Childhood Memories
Igor Stravinski: The Rite of Spring

Alexey Shor's Childhood Memories were premiered as a composition for piano solo. In this work, the composer reflects memories from his childhood as well as the daily life with his own children. Andrey Gugnin is the soloist who is going to play the Shor's version for piano solo and symphonic orchestra that Alexey Shor arranged himself. Michael Francis and the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz confront this version of Shor's Childhood Memories with Jean Sibelius's Aallottaret (The Oceanides), one of the very few works that the composer did not base on a Finish subject and Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, one of the most iconic and progressive compositions of the 20th century.
