成人快手

Petroc Trelawny presents a concert given at London's Barbican Hall, with the 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra under Lionel Bringuier performing Strauss's Dance of the Seven Veils from his one-act opera Salome.

A setting of Oscar Wilde's lyric drama, which drew inspiration from French symbolism and the writings of Stephane Mallarme, Strauss's work dodged the censor in spite of its provocative Dance of the Seven Veils to make headway in the opera house long before Wilde's play was permitted on the stage. The 'Salome craze', which swept like wildfire across fin-de-siecle Europe, inspired everything from Isadora Duncan's erotic dancing to Florent Schmitt's ballet La tragedie de Salome, a precursor to Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
