Schubert: messe en mi bémol by Various, kedd 19 jún 2012, -tól (2012/2012), Karmester Daniel Harding, Basilique, Saint-Denis-en-Val, France

Not far from Mahler, at the Festival, there is Schubert. And the Mass in E flat, is undoubtedly his masterpiece. Composed a few months before its death, with its "divine lengths", its amplitude and magnitude, it could be his Requiem. The score, fervent and sumptuous, seems to explore all the range of human feelings. Solemn choirs, hovering solos, contrasts of shadow and light, it is what awaits one of the greatest chefs of his generation, Daniel Harding. Principal guest conductor of the LSO and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra, current orchestra music director Swedish Radio Symphony, Daniel Harding returns to the Festival at the head of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France, from the Radio Choir France and a set of soloists from most prestigious international stages. To fully embrace Schubert's early romanticism, nothing beats that, late, of Schönberg and his si famous Transfigured Night… Great Viennese evening in perspective; one of the Festival highlights.
