Schumann's Fairy Tales

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Conceived as adult fairy tales, Robert Schumann's "Märchenbilder" open our evening with a lyrical performance from violist Paul Neubauer and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott.

Then, from one piece rich in descriptive imagination to another: we'll hear Jordi Savall and La Capella Reial de Catalunya singing of love in Monteverdi's madrigal "Altri canti d'amor."

And finally, evening music makes its way to America with Oklahoma-born Roy Harris and his Symphony No. 3 with Eduardo Mata and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Finally, we wind to our conclusion on the wings of Ralph Vaughan Williams's ethereal "The Lark Ascending" with violinist Anne Akiko Meyers being joined by Andrew Litton and the Philharmonia Orchestra.
