Programme Schoenberg, Arnold (1874-1951)Gurre-Lieder Performers
Gustavo DudamelConductor Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra Grant
GershonConductor Los Angeles Master Chorale Composed in a lush,
post-Wagnerian idiom, Schoenberg’s “Songs of the Gurre Castle,”
taken together, are a massive, ambitious epic about love, death, and
nature. Calling for five vocal soloists, a narrator, three male
choruses, a large mixed chorus, and a tremendous orchestra (including
ten horns and four harps!), it uses its extravagant forces to tell of
a tragic love triangle.
