German composer Charlotte Seither adapts the words of the 17th-century poet Francesco de Lemene in a new work for the 大象传媒 Singers and the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra, using voices and syllables as spots of 'human colour'. Josep Pons conducts this world premiere alongside the 1947 version of Stravinsky's Petrushka, the a cappella motets Ave Maria and Pater noster, and the four-minute novelty Scherzo 脿 la russe, written in Hollywood for the bandleader Paul Whiteman.
Another German, the distinguished violinist Frank Peter Zimmermann, plays the concerto that Johannes Brahms composed for his great friend, Joseph Joachim.
