In the Overture and IncidentaI Music to William Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream,' FeIix Mendelssohn brings the illustrious 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 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 ChaiIly 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 HaIl of KKL Luzem, Lucerne FestivaI in August of 2017. |
