Conductor Karina Canellakis, renowned for delivering emotionally charged performances, takes on feats of musical storytelling in this narrative programme. Excerpts from Richard Wagner鈥檚 influential opera Tristan und Isolde capture two lovers at the beginning and end of their doomed love affair. Alexander Scriabin鈥檚 symphonic Po猫me de l鈥檈xtase, or Poem of Ecstasy, is an immersive experience of delicately layered melodic motifs.

Sergei Rachmaninoff鈥檚 choral symphony The Bells, inspired by Edgar Allen Poe鈥檚 poem of the same name, was one of the composer鈥檚 personal favourites. This monumental choral symphony recalls the 鈥榞ladly chiming and mournfully tolling鈥� bells of Rachmaninoff 鈥檚 childhood, which filled his head as he wrote.
