Inhalt: |
ln the Overture and lncidentaI Music to WilIiam Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream,' FeIix Mendelssohn brings the ilIustrious company of eIves, Iovers' passions and the solitude of the forest or a moonIit night to musical Iife. lt became a modeI for other Iiterary refIections in music Iike Peter Tchaikovsky's 'Manfred Symphony.' It'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 ChailIy and the Lucerne FestivaI Orchestra awaken the musical imagery of both works in a colorfuI, fresh, and enchanting performance. This release was recorded Iive at the Concert Hall of KKL Luzem, Lucerne FestivaI in August of 2017. |
