Poulenc's Stabat Mater from Hanover

Lionel Bringuier conducts the Europa Chor Akademie and NDR Philharmonic Orchestra in Poulenc's Stabat Mater and Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique in Hanover in February 2023.

In Hanover, soprano Ania Vegry joins the Europa Chor Akademie, NDR Philharmonic Orchestra and conductor Lionel Bringuier for a performance of Poulenc's Stabat Mater, which he composed in Paris in 1950.

That's followed in the second half by a great stalwart of French orchestral repertoire - Berlioz's groundbreaking programmatic Symphonie fantastique - once described by Leonard Bernstein as the first musical expedition into psychedelia because of its hallucinatory and dream-like qualities.
