Weill: The Seven Deadly Sins

Kurt Weill's Seven Deadly Sins was written to a libretto by Bertolt Brecht as a "sung ballet", and recounts the allegorical adventures of the title character Anna, as she explores life and all its temptations. Written in an evocative and recognizably Berlin-esque style, it evokes the heady turmoil of the interwar years with its jazz inflected banjo and close-harmony vocal group. The concert opens with two orchestral pieces by Italian composer Busoni, written at the turn of the century. Perhaps most famous for his epic piano works, this pair of orchestral scores demonstrates his melodic invention and contrapuntal detail with a wider instrumental palette.
