From the Alps to the Auvergne
Kensington Gore, South Kensington, London SW7 2AP, UK
Edward Gardner and the London Philharmonic Orchestra present a programme inspired by nature. Kristine Tjøgersen’s Between Trees evokes the atmosphere of a Nordic forest, while Joseph Canteloube’s Chants d'Auvergne draws on the mountain songs of his native French region. Soprano Louise Alder performs these orchestral miniatures before the evening concludes with Richard Strauss’s monumental An Alpine Symphony, a work that depicts a day-long journey to a mountain peak through glaciers and storms.
