When Franco Donatoni passed away last year, he left a legacy and paved the way for a new renaissance in Italian music. Conductor Esa-Pekka Salonen delivers tonight the Los Angeles Philharmonic Association commission from this Italian avant-garde composer. Salonen studied with Donatoni in Italy and found him to be an energetic teacher who enthused about many things – even the dull mechanics of music. This is the world première with Radu Lupu on piano.
