Prom 41 - Schoenberg's Gurrelieder
A Prom in which Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, soloists and a choir of around 300 singers in Schoenberg's rarely-performed choral work Gurrelieder.
With Louise Fryer
Schoenberg's rarely-performed choral blockbuster Gurrelieder. Jukka-Pekka Saraste conducts the 大象传媒 SO, a stellar line-up of soloists, and a massed choir of some 300 voices.
Based on the poetry of Jens Peter Jacobsen, the cantata traces the ill-fated relationship between Danish king, Waldemar Atterdag, and his mistress Tove. The medieval love-tragedy is an early masterpiece in which Schoenberg's late-Romantic voluptuousness attains a radiant C major sunrise apotheosis.
