Mark Elder, conductor
Continuing their tradition of musical collaboration, the Hall茅 and 大象传媒 Philharmonic orchestras close their respective Bridgewater Hall seasons with a rare performance of Schoenberg's gigantic 'Gurrelieder'. Richly Romantic and exquisitely lyrical, the piece draws us into a unique and all-embracing sound landscape. A setting of poetry by Jens Peter Jacobson, the libretto of this epic work is based on an ancient Danish saga; a tale of illicit love, jealousy and murder, set at the castle of Gurre in north Zealand. This performance features an all-star vocal line-up and massive choral forces as well as the combined warmth and power of two orchestras.
