Poetic Enchantment

Over het evenement

Fantastic paintings and poetic verses are among the most important sources of inspiration from which composers of all eras have drawn from. Claude Debussy, Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler come together in this programme.

These three composers whose settings of images and words to music count among the most valuable treasures of concert literature. Debussy’s "Prélude à l’après‐midi d’un faune" is followed by orchestral songs by Richard Strauss; the second half of the concert presents Mahler’s 4th Symphony. The enjoyment is all the greater when the words and sounds are in the able hands of renowned interpreters: Soile Isokoski, one of the most sought‐after singers of our time, gives a guest performance with the Tonkünstler with Music Director Andrés Orozco‐Estrada at the baton.
