Schoenberg's Gurrelieder

Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, a monumental epic of crazed love and its consequences, performed by the LPO, massed choirs and soloists conducted by Edward Gardner.

Schoenberg鈥榮 Gurrelieder, conducted by Edward Gardner.

Presented by Ian Skelly, live from the Royal Festival Hall, London.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra opens its new season at the Royal Festival Hall with a rare performance of Schoenberg's gigantic 'Gurrelieder'. Richly romantic and exquisitely lyrical, the piece takes its audience on a journey into a unique and all-embracing sound landscape. A setting of poetry by Jens Peter Jacobson, 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. Tonight鈥檚 performance features an all-star vocal line-up and massive choral forces as well as the power of a colossal orchestra.
