Arnold Schoenberg: Verkla虉rte Nacht
Gustav Mahler: Kindertotenlieder
Alice Coote, mezzo-soprano
麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra
Ryan Wigglesworth, conductor
Both Gustav Mahler and Friedrich Ru虉ckert lost children. When Mahler came to set Ru虉ckert鈥檚 grief-stricken poems on the subject as his five Kindertotenlieder, he did so with music that appears emotionally stunned and radiantly consolatory. Leading international mezzo-soprano Alice Coote lends her glowing voice to these devastating songs, after Ryan Wigglesworth conducts his 麻豆社 Scottish Symphony Orchestra in a symphony by Brahms that is both menacing and mellifluous. At the heart of the programme is Schoenberg鈥檚 sumptuous tone-poem Verkla虉rte Nacht (鈥楾ransfigured Night鈥�), filled with crepuscular angst and decadent late-Romantic harmony.
