Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg
Gustavo Gimeno direction
Anja Harteros soprano

Anton Webern: Im Sommerwind.
Richard Wagner: Wesendonck-Lieder.
César Franck: Symphonie en ré mineur (d-moll)

Not only the opulent sound of Richard Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lieder makes them the embodiment of romantic yearning, it is above all their history that makes them interesting, which would not surprise even readers of today’s gossip columns. Wagner set to music texts by Mathilde Wesendonck, the wife of one his patrons with whom he had a passionate affair. On February 15, Anja Harteros, one of today’s great vocal stars, performs these expressive songs with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg under Gustavo Gimeno. No less sensual are the following works by Webern and Franck. Immerse yourselves in the history of the OPL before the concert at 7:15 pm.

Ce concert sera enregistré par radio 100.7 et diffusé ultérieurement.
