Judith Weir: Telling the Tale
Woman. Life. Song
From LSO St Luke's, London, Tom Service presents a concert given by students at the Guildhall School conducted by Andre de Ridder. Weir's Piano Concerto fills the space between chamber music and bravura-filled spectacle.
An intimate work, it has an English folksong, The Sweet Primroses, at the heart of the slow movement.
American soprano Jessye Norman commissioned poems from Maya Angelou, Clarissa Pinkola Estes and Toni Morrison specifically for Weir's song-cycle, which traces a woman's life from infancy to old age 鈥� with much humour along the way
