Wake Up: A Concerto for Orchestra

Approved

In 2013, the HK Phil was honoured to perform with Maestro Lorin Maazel in some of his last performances. The Maestro had distilled the 18 hours of Wagner’s titanic Ring Cycle into his own compelling symphonic work The Ring without Words. Here we revisit the highlight of the exciting Das Rheingold section in memory of a true musical giant.

Wagner: The Ring without Words (Maazel / HK Phil, 2013)

A night of epic music begins with Wake Up: A Concerto for Orchestra, a new piece by Grammy®-nominated composer, curator and activist Carlos Simon, commissioned by the San Diego Symphony. Music Director Rafael Payare also leads a sonic and visual expedition into Richard Wagner’s Ring Without Words, an ingenious synthesis of the composer’s Ring cycle of operas, arranged by conductor Lorin Maazel. Ring Without Words invites listeners on an enchanting journey through the Rhine to Valhalla, soaring over hills, valleys and caves, with the flight of a Valkyrie.
