Approved

The Sheng is a mouth-organ like no other; rooted for over three millennia in Chinese culture, but – in the hands of a virtuoso like Wu Wei – capable of opening up whole new continents of sonic imagination. Unsuk Chin’s ravishing Šu takes its inspiration from ancient Egypt; performed by the artist for whom it was written, it’s a revelatory pairing for the kaleidoscopic colours and uproarious comic fantasy of Strauss’s Till Eulenspiegel and the deep romance of Schumann’s noble Second Symphony. Conductor Markus Stenz is as masterly in new music as he is in the heartlands of the Romantic German repertoire: expect deep insights and glorious sounds.
