Programme

Nina Shekhar Lumina  (11mins) 

Strauss Four Last Songs  (25mins)

Brahms Symphony No.4  (38mins)

Experience the light, the dark and the mysterious middle ground in this gloriously rich programme, led by the versatile Eduardo Strasser. Shekhar’s Lumina explores a vibrant world of contrasts, or as she puts it, ‘bursts of radiance amongst the eeriness of shadows’. 

Strauss looks back on his long creative life in Four Last Songs, its seasons and sunsets filtered through his adoration of the soprano voice. The incomparable Natalya Romaniw is the soloist. And despite Brahms subtitling his final symphony ‘Tragic’, it is full of warm orchestral colours. ‘This piece does not altogether displease me’, said Brahms, somewhat modestly. Hard not to agree.
