It is the mutual attraction between symphonic music and great cinema that leads the evening's program through pieces and composers that have accompanied the history of the seventh art. Emmanuel Tjeknavorian is soloist for the suite from Darius Milhaud's ballet Le boeuf sur le toit op. 58, a triumph of carnivalesque rhythms and colors on popular Brazilian themes, which bears "Cinematic Fantasy on South American Motifs" in its subtitle and which Milhaud would have wanted as the soundtrack to a Charlie Chaplin film. After the December 2022 special concert, the pages of John Williams, with the famous violin theme from Schindler's List, Adventures on Earth from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and Scherzo for Motorcycle and Orchestra from Indiana Jones , return to the Philharmonic music stands. One who represents a piece of world music and film history is surely Nino Rota, whose suite and a selection of dances from Il Gattopardo Luchino Visconti. Opening with the creative energy of John Adams' Lollapalooza, musical fun on the title word: "phenomenal, extraordinary thing" in American slang.
