Deserted by her lover, the beautiful Ariadne pours out her longing and loss. The virgin Mary sings to both heaven and earth in a moment of pure ecstasy. And Robert Schumann, smitten with his young wife Clara, weaves messages of pure love into a symphony inspired by Beethoven. Some say it鈥檚 his very greatest.

But what鈥檚 certain is that, as a composer himself, Ryan Wigglesworth brings a creator鈥檚 insight to everything he conducts - whether it鈥檚 Schumann鈥檚 ardent symphony, a reinvention of a classical myth from renaissance Venice, or Wigglesworth鈥檚 own gorgeous, typically uninhibited setting of the鈥疢agnificat, sung (for the first time in London) by the singer who inspired it, soprano Sophie Bevan, who will work wonders, along with the 大象传媒 Symphony Chorus.
