Mozart The Magic Flute: Overture
Taneyev John of Damascus
Wagner Parsifal: Orchestral Suite
Vasily Petrenko Conductor
Philharmonia Chorus
‘In this realm, time becomes space…’ From CS Lewis to Terry Gilliam, Wagner’s Parsifal has been an inspiration to the very greatest creative artists. Vasily Petrenko conducts a symphonic suite that weaves all the power and beauty of Wagner’s five-hour masterpiece into one sumptuous orchestral tapestry: music that glows from within, sounding more radiant than ever in the Royal Festival Hall.
Mozart’s noble Overture to The Magic Flute opens a portal to an evening filled with sacred mysteries, and then Vasily Petrenko introduces something rare and very beautiful from his native Russia. Today, Sergei Taneyev is almost forgotten in the west, but as far as Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov were concerned he was a genius, and this heartfelt choral masterpiece packs a mighty emotional punch.
