Sebastiao Salgado : Amazonia by Glass, Villa-Lobos, From (2023/2023), Conductor Simone Menezes, Auditorium, Bordeaux, France

The largest tropical forest in the world, spanning nine countries (in particular Brazil), the Amazon forest is one of the most beautiful and precious natural jewels on Earth, today unfortunately in the process of advanced destruction... Its greatness and strength are intensely felt in A Floresta do Amazonas , an essential work by Heitor Villa-Lobos composed in 1958. Alongside soprano Camila Titinger, the Orchestra performs this majestic piece of magical beauty, to which a projection of photographs by Sebastiao Salgado provides an ideal visual counterpoint. The evening program is completed by the score of Philip Glass.
