Waldemar, Gurre-Lieder (Schönberg)
Joined by renowned soloists and commanding colossal vocal and instrumental means, Rafael Payare conducts a monument of the post-Romantic repertoire: Schoenberg’s Gurre-Lieder.
This imposing musical saga narrating the ill-fated romances of King Waldemar at the Gurre Castle, unfolds against a backdrop of jealousy, demise, and damnation, and reaches its apex in the final chorus heralding the dawn of salvation. Schoenberg offers deep insight into human nature, while his music vividly and sensitively highlights the psychology of his characters. Though colossal, the work’s vocal and instrumental scoring is characterized by finesse and poetry. The deeply moving and striking Gurre-Lieder reveal a facet of Schoenberg’s personality well worth discovering.
