Diana Damrau sings Strauss
Soprano Diana Damrau joins Vasily Petrenko and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra for a concert that moves from the lush, late-Romantic soundscapes of Strauss's songs and the sweeping melodic generosity of Elgar's Italy-inspired overture In the South to the leaner, more percussive intensity of Bart?k's Concerto for Orchestra ? a virtuosic showcase for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The concert also includes the world premiere of Iain Bell's concerto for coloratura soprano and orchestra, Aurora, composed especially for Damrau.
