Wiebke Lehmkuhl | Bundesjugendorchester | Elias Grandy
In the organizer's words:
Also sprach ZarathustraWiebke Lehmkuhl | Federal Youth Orchestra | Elias Grandy: A. Mahler | Strauss | WagnerThe composers of the late Romantic period liked things monumental, both in terms of the length of their works and the orchestration. This is as true of Wagner's mammoth opera "Tristan und Isolde" as it is of Strauss' magnificent tone poem "Also sprach Zarathustra".
Its opening with majestic timpani beats, radiant trumpets and a grandiose orchestral tutti is one of the most famous works of classical music ever written and was already used by Stanley Kubrick as the soundtrack for his monumental film "2001: A Space Odyssey". And Wagner's prelude to "Tristan and Isolde" has also been used not infrequently as a cinematic soundscape because of its peculiar and intense emotionality, for example in the visually stunning opening sequence of Lars von Trier's "Melancholia" with Kirsten Dunst. Framed by these two titans are seven songs by Mahler's wife Alma, arranged for large orchestra by Colin and David Matthews - so even the "small" form gets a "large" garb here.
