Carnegie Hall Subscriptions - Great American Orchestras I
Great American Orchestras I
Hear music create worlds. Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, a ballet that the famous impresario Sergei Diaghilev commissioned for his Ballets Russes in Paris in 1909, takes us to the land of ancient Greek shepherds and shepherdesses, basking in love. The Cleveland Orchestra spends a day in the Alps with Richard Strauss, who composed his Alpensinfonie (Alpine Symphony) as a monument to “eternal, magnificent nature,” while the San Francisco Symphony takes us even further away in Ligeti’s Lontano (literally “far away”), and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra closes with the noble brass fanfares of Bruckner’s Eighth, a work that “renders the transcendent real,” in the words of the great Brucknerian Wilhelm Furtwängler.
