Exquisite Fires
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Canadian composer Linda Bouchard writes music that is a blend of sun-lit melodies and turbulent trimmings. Such is the case with her animated and vibrant orchestral work, "Exquisite Fires," which we'll hear this evening from the National Arts Centre Orchestra under Trevor Pinnock.
Also featured tonight is Brandon Marsalis, who lends his saxaphone to Darius Mihaud's jazzy "Creation of the World"; Later on, music by Stravinsky and Brahms dominate our playlist. Bringing our evening to a close is Richard Strauss's exhilerating symphonic poem, "Death and Transfiguration"; Antal Dorati conducts the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
