Clemens Schuldt conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra in Tchaikovsky, Borisova-Ollas's A Portrait of a Lady by Swan Lake, with violinist Tessa Lark, and Zemlinsky's The Mermaid.
Fairy tales both light and hauntingly dark. A misty lake, a doomed love, a swan princess鈥chaikovsky鈥檚 Swan Lake is one of those stories that lingers in the imagination. Guest conductor Clemens Schuldt follows it with two more fairy tales: Zemlinsky鈥檚 sumptuous re-telling of The Little Mermaid, and the UK premiere of a reinterpretation of Swan Lake by Victoria Borisova-Ollas.
Swan Lake, says Borisova-Ollas, is 鈥渁 story that has it all鈥�. The central role in her new concerto is taken by Tessa Lark; come and surrender to its spell. And then dive into the lush, passionately romantic world of Alexander von Zemlinsky: if you love Mahler or Richard Strauss, he鈥檒l sweep you off your feet.
Recorded at the Barbican on Friday 3rd March
