Program

Lili Boulanger Of a sad evening
Hector Berlioz the summer nights
Aleksandr Skrjabin The poem of ecstasy

The American mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke performs as a soloist in one of her favorite works: Berlioz's heartfelt cycle Les nuits d'été . Karina Canellakis also leads the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in poetic works by Skrjabin and Boulanger.


Sasha Cooke in Berlioz' Summer Nights

The American mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke will perform as a soloist with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in a work by one of her favorite composers. "Berlioz is second to none," the Grammy winner said in an interview. Cooke can't get enough of Berlioz's unique colours, harmony and melodies and regularly sings his pieces. Today that is the cycle Les nuits d'été . Six intimate, sometimes introspective songs about life, love and death. Cut for Cooke, who was praised by Opera News for her 'balance, charisma and elegant directness'.


Skrjabins The poem of ecstasy

Karina Canellakis leads her Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in two more poetic works. She puts just the right amount of 'mystery and softness' in Scriabin's Le poème de l'extase , according to an American newspaper. The Russian composer also wrote a 'real' poem for his symphonic poem. In it he sketches a world full of dreams, magic, dark rhythms and the urge to live. Lili Boulanger sounds D'un soir triste , a poignant farewell to the world written shortly before her early death.
