Programme:
Mendelssohn: Die schöne Melusine Overture, op. 32
Respighi: Deità silvane, P.147
Berlioz: Les nuits d’été, Op.7
Michael Pringsheim: Eichendorff Liederkreis (world premiere)
Ravel: Pavane pour une infante défunte
Vaughan Williams: Songs of Travel (orch. RVW and Roy Douglas)

Four passionate song cycles. Four sumptuous voices. London Lyric Opera’s
‘Cycles’ explores the rich Romanticism of Berlioz’s Les nuits d’été, the
mystical sincerity of Vaughan Williams’ Songs of Travel, the evanescent
colours of Respighi’s Deità silvane, and the world première of Michael Pringsheim’s exquisite new cycle Six Eichendorff Songs. Conducted by Madeleine Lovell with the St George’s Chamber Orchestra the programme is completed with two purely orchestral narratives – Mendelssohn’s evocation of the legendary Melusine and Ravel’s Pavane.

Composers
Respighi, Mendellsohn, Vaughan Williams, Pringsheim, Berlioz, Ravel
