Simon Rattle conducts the CBSO at Aldeburgh
Sir Simon Rattle conducts the CBSO at the 2011 Aldeburgh Festival in Messiaen's Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum and Mahler's song-cycle Das Lied von der Erde.
From Snape Maltings, Suffolk
Louise Fryer introduces an archive recording from the 65th Aldeburgh Festival in 2011.
Abundant with the sounds of nature and charged with an irresistible sense of spirituality, Messiaen's "Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum" and Mahler's song-cycle "Das Lied von der Erde"epitomise two powerful and utterly distinctive musical styles. Mahler's last work - by turns elegiac and ebullient - concludes with a tender farewell to this earthly existence whilst Messiaen's chorales, solemn prayers and massive incantations convey an emphatic assurance of the life to come.
