The Swiss grand master of dance Heinz Spoerli created three works for his Zürcher Ballett set to three of the greatest works of the string-quartet literature.
Plácido Domingo
To celebrate Verdi’s 200th anniversary, the National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing (NCPA) premiered a spectacular new production of Nabucco on 22 May, in a breathtaking setting, starring the legendary Plácido Domingo in the lead role, marking his successful change to a baritone.

Gustav Mahler’s gigantic Symphony No. 2 in C minor usually makes a concert evening on its own. But in this recording with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, under its principal conductor Mariss Jansons, the work is introduced by an exquisite – and fitting – choral work: A contemporary (1982) 16-voice arrangement of a song by Mahler: Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen. The appellation “Resurrection” for Mahler’s Second Symphony derives from the closing chorus of the last movement, in which Mahler set to music verses from Klopstock’s Messias. This Symphony is a central work in Mahler’s oeuvre, its Munich performance of 1900 finally bringing him the long-desired recognition as a composer. (101680 / 108077)
