Conductor and soprano Barbara Hannigan leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra in Richard Strauss’ Death and Transfiguration and Haydn’s ‘Farewell Symphony’; she is also the soloist in mesmerising works by Sibelius and Golfam Khayam.
Barbara Hannigan
The versatile Barbara Hannigan returns to the Concertgebouw Orchestra with a moving programme about death, transcience and rebirth. Not only does she conduct the orchestra, she also showcases her flawless soprano. In Sibelius' Luonnotar, she sings about sacrifice and rebirth. European and Persian traditions mingle in Golfam Khayam’s comforting and richly detailed I am not a tale to be told.
Strauss' Tod und Verklärung
As a precocious 25-year-old, Richard Strauss looked ahead to the redemption of death in Tod und Verklärung (Death and Transfiguration). Over a century earlier, Haydn's ‘Farewell Symphony’ also seemed to reflect on death. The orchestra gradually leaving the stage in the final movement was intended as a protest against the working conditions of his musicians, but the effect, at the end of this bittersweet and turbulent symphony, is particularly poignant.
