Song of the Night

Orquestra Sinfónica · Coro · Coral de Letras da Universidade do Porto

Stefan Blunier leads the Orquestra Sinfónica and Coro Casa da Música in a programme dedicated entirely to 20th-century Polish modernism. Karłowicz’s tone poem A Sorrowful Tale, subtitled “Preludes to Eternity”, is an emotive reflection on death, embracing the post-Romantic aesthetic of the turn of the century. Lutosławski’s seminal Livre pour orchestra ventures into the experimental boldness of mid-20th-century music, an unconventional journey through fragmented ideas, subtly referencing the past with nods to Couperin and Bach. The programme concludes with the evocative Symphony No. 3 (Song of the Night) by Szymanowski, inspired by the mystical poetry of Jalal ud-Din Rumi. Infused with influences from Wagner to Debussy and echoes of Scriabin, the work dazzles with its daring harmonic language, expansive orchestration, and rich timbral palette. The versatile Polish tenor Andrzej Lampert joins the orchestra and choir in this spellbinding masterpiece.
