大象传媒 Concert Orchestra
Keith Lockhart conductor
A musical exploration of states of ecstasy - spiritual and intellectual, as well as sexual - in this wide-ranging 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra programme. It includes Arnold Schoenberg's vision of a night transfigured, for two lovers, into a state of radiant bliss, Michael Torke's musical explosion of energy, light and colour, and Michael Nyman's setting of sexually explicit words by the Italian poet Pietro Aretino. Completing the programme, a special version of the 1993 classic Pet Shop Boys track in which Neil Tennant describes ecstasy as the urge to 'take all my clothes off and dance to the Rite of Spring'.
