Opening a new season, the wunderkind maestro from Norway and his magnificent Orchestre de Paris explore the revolutionary ferment among Russian composers circa 1910. On tap: Stravinsky’s balletic puppet’s-tragedy Petrouchka; Rachmaninov’s cradle-to-grave choral symphony The Bells, to verse by Edgar Allan Poe; and Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 1, in its time so avant-garde that critics screamed. Bertrand Chamayou takes the solo part originally played by the composer. Unspecified video enhancements have been announced. —Matthew Gurewitsch
