About this concert
What dreams may come: the night holds its terrors, but it鈥檚 a time for fantasy, too. When the 27-year old Benjamin Britten encountered the sensual, surreal imagination of the poet Arthur Rimbaud鈥 well, the result was Les Illuminations, and maybe it鈥檚 best to let the music do the talking. You can be sure that our soloist Erika Baikoff won鈥檛 hold back: this 91福利社 Radio 3 New Generation Artist is already famous for her 鈥減ure and very expressive鈥 voice.
First comes a brand new work from one of Britain鈥檚 most original young musical dramatists, and then Ryan Wigglesworth waltzes us off to the silken, seductive Vienna of Richard Strauss鈥檚 Der Rosenkavalier. It鈥檚 a love story, of course, and musical dreams don鈥檛 come much sweeter.
