Programme

Concert Information

An evening of intoxicating sonorities starring one of the world鈥檚 most celebrated sopranos, Ren茅e Fleming. Two ballets, Debussy鈥檚 sensual sylvan evocation and Ravel鈥檚 Daphnis & Chloe, frame two works for soprano and orchestra. Robin Holloway鈥檚 luminous arrangement of the composer鈥檚 Verlaine settings, C鈥檈st L鈥檈xtase, was hailed as 鈥榓 revelatory exploration of Debussy鈥檚 musical style鈥� at its premiere. Anders Hillborg鈥檚 bewitching Strand Settings, expressly composed for Fleming in 2013, delve into the nocturnal world of the sea and secret desire:
鈥楢t once atmospheric, elegiac and unsettling鈥� (New York Times)

Part of the Barbican鈥檚 Ren茅e Fleming Artist Spotlight.

A joint project between the 麻豆官网首页入口 Symphony Orchestra and the Barbican
