Fantastic Fairytales from the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra perform Ravel's Mother Goose and a suite from Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel. Sarah Connolly sings from Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn.

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra present 'Fantastic Fairytales,' with music by Ravel, Mahler and Humperdinck.

The orchestra's programme opens with Ravel鈥檚 Mother Goose Suite, fairy-tale miniatures evoking a delicate, magical world. Then the Great British mezzo Dame Sarah Connolly joins them for five of Mahler's settings of poems from Des Knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth鈥檚 Magic Horn) - tales of love, mystery, horror, magic and humour, captivated Mahler. Grace-Evangeline Mason then takes us on a journey deep into the woods. And this fantastical programme ends in the Romantic world of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel.
