Horneman: Aladdin, ouverture
Berlioz: Les Nuits d’été
Schoenberg: Pelléas and Mélisande
Karine Deshayes, mezzo-soprano
Orchestre National de Montpellier
Michael Schønwandt , conductor
In this concert from the Montpelier Festival in the south of France, Karine Deshayes sings Berlioz’ songs of summer nights; wonders spring from Aladdin’s lamp in a work by the Danish composer Horneman, friend and contemporary of Grieg, and love’s intricacies and agonies are evoked by Schoenberg (who, at this early stage in his career, is still the heir of Brahms and Wagner) in his vast and voluptuous symphonic poem Pelléas and Mélisande.
Concert recorded on 21st July 2023 at the Montpellier Opera.
