Deutsche Radio Philarmonie & Pons - Wagner i Strauss

Deutsche Radio Philharmonie & Pons at the Palau de la Música Catalana.

The Deutsche Radio Philharmonie performs in Barcelona under the baton of Josep Pons in a programme devoted to two German-language composers, Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. The soprano Elisabeth Teige is part of the concert's artistic line-up as vocal performer.

From Wagner, the programme features the prelude and Isolda's death from his opera Tristán e Isolda, one of the composer's best-known orchestral pieces. From Strauss, it includes his Four Last Songs, for soprano voice, and the orchestral suite from his opera Elektra, which brings together excerpts from the score in concert form.

The programme thus combines the symphonic and lyrical repertoire of both composers, with the weight of the orchestra and the voice as the thread running through the evening.
