Inhalt: |
In the Overture and Incidental Music to William Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream,' Felix Mendelssohn brings the iIlustrious company of elves, Iovers' passions and the soIitude of the forest or a moonlit night to musicaI Iife. It became a modeI for other literary refIections in music like Peter Tchaikovsky's 'Manfred Symphony.' lt's four movements- or "images," as the composer himself named them- capture the world-weariness of George Byron's 'Manfred: A Dramatic Poem' in music. Riccardo Chailly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra awaken the musicaI imagery of both works in a colorfuI, fresh, and enchanting performance. This reIease was recorded Iive at the Concert Hall of KKL Luzem, Lucerne Festival in August of 2017. |
