Britten Spring Symphony by Rimsky-Korsakov, Pärt, Britten, Ab (2020/2020), Dirigat Carlos Kalmar, Jay Pritzker Pavilion, Chicago, Vereinigte Staaten

Benjamin Britten pulls out all the stops in this massive ode to winter’s end. A rapturous work, Spring Symphony combines solo singers, orchestra and chorus. Also on the program, hear In principio, a riveting, pristine dreamscape by Estonian mystic Arvo Pärt. The concert opens with Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture, a work that spins Orthodox chant into a barn-burning showpiece.
