| Royal Festival Hall, London, United Kingdom Saturday 25-Sep-10 19:30 Haydn, D'Amico, Dufay and Bartók 1918, and Béla Bartók encountered the legend of a young girl, forced by three thugs to lure men from the street into their den. When she encounters a magical Mandarin, a wild pursuit ensues before she embraces him and he dies. The story drew from Bartók his most astonishing orchestral creation, a piece that thrusts life into the manic tumult of the chase as the orchestra screws itself towards breaking point before plunging into its final catastrophic chords. Matteo D’Amico’s view of the flight of civilisation from ancient Istanbul receives its world première at this concert – a piece for speaker, vocal ensemble and orchestra whose sudden journeying offers a provocative counterpoint to Bartók’s. D'Amico, Matteo (b. 1955), Flight from Byzantium (World Premiere) London Philharmonic Orchestra Vladimir Jurowski, Conductor London Philharmonic Choir Hilliard Ensemble | ||
