SÄCHSISCHE STAATSKAPELLE DRESDEN & CHRISTIAN THIELEMANN by Various, Sâm 21 Mai 2022, De la (2022/2022), Dirijor Christian Thielemann, Semperoper, Dresden, Germany

In his »Lyric Symphony« op. 18 for soprano, baritone and orchestra, which premiered in 1924, Alexander Zemlinsky combines seven poems by the Bengali Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore, which he composed independently of one another and set to music, into a visually stunning plot. With Julia Kleiter and Christian Gerhaher, the Staatskapelle, under its chief conductor Christian Thielemann, has two outstanding interpreters at their side for this late-Romantic masterpiece. There are also stormy emotions in Mendelssohn's »Third« composed after a trip to Scotland, which many consider to be his greatest achievement in the field of symphony.
