ѿý Symphony Orchestra and ѿý Singers (5/5)
The ѿý Symphony Orchestra capture the heat and exoticism of Arabia as Fatma Said sings Ravel's Shéhérazade and Louis Schwizgebel plays Saint-Saens's Egyptian Concerto.
The ѿý Symphony Orchestra @ 90.
Penny Gore ends her celebration this week of the work of this supremely versatile orchestra with music inspired by the landscape of Iceland and two French works which capture the exoticism of North Africa: Louis Schwizgebel plays Saint-Saens's 'Egyptian,' Piano Concerto and the Egyptian soprano, Fatma Said sings Ravel's Shéhérazade, with its sensual texts derived from The Arabian Nights. And, to start the afternoon, the ѿý Singers explore the music of Bob Chilcott, their Principal Guest Conductor, whose music has delighted choirs and audiences across the globe.
