Total Immersion: the music of Missy Mazzoli
The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dalia Stasevska and Guildhall Musicians perform orchestral and chamber music by Missy Mazzoli, one of the most singular voices of today.
The 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dalia Stasevska and Guildhall Musicians perform orchestral and chamber music by Missy Mazzoli, one of the most singular, potent voices of today. Pianist, visionary, musical dramatist and Grammy-nominated composer, Missy Mazzoli has been called 鈥渢he 21st century鈥檚 gatecrasher of new classical music鈥�. She鈥檚 an artist for whom the personal is political, and in whose hands the intimate stories of modern America take on an epic scale and a global significance. 鈥淲ith each work, I endeavour to provide a new language for thoughts and feelings we suppress in everyday life鈥� she says - 鈥渢o provide space in which we can process the overwhelming nature of the world鈥�.
Family memories, spiralling galaxies and a god of song, tormented by fate. In the orchestral works of Missy Mazzoli, private emotions inspire visions that span time and space. Dalia Stasevska conducts the 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra as the composer introduces four of her most powerful (and personal) orchestral pieces.
For Mazzoli, small ensembles unlock infinite possibilities, and her music for ensembles and electronics finds her exploring the wildest reaches of a boundless musical imagination, performed by the superb young artists of Guildhall School of Music & Drama.
Recorded at the Barbican Hall, and Milton Court London, on Sunday 25th February 2024. Presented by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.
