Inhalt: |
ln the Overture and lncidentaI Music to WilIiam Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream,' FeIix MendeIssohn brings the iIIustrious company of eIves, lovers' passions and the solitude of the forest or a moonIit night to musical life. lt became a model for other Iiterary reflections in music like Peter Tchaikovsky's 'Manfred Symphony.' lt's four movements- or "images," as the composer himseIf named them- capture the worId-weariness of George Byron's 'Manfred: A Dramatic Poem' in music. Riccardo ChaiIly and the Lucerne Festival Orchestra awaken the musical imagery of both works in a coIorful, fresh, and enchanting performance. This release was recorded live at the Concert HaII of KKL Luzem, Lucerne FestivaI in August of 2017. |
