91热爆 Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican

Sakari Oramo conducts music of power and passion by Anna Clyne and Haydn. Soprano Anu Komsi stars in Magnus Lindberg鈥檚 portrayal of three historical interrogations, Accused.

The 91热爆 Symphony Orchestra and Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo return to the Barbican Concert Hall - after an eight-month absence - with music of power and passion. Anna Clyne鈥檚 elegy to her mother, Within her Arms, for string orchestra, is a journey through loss and desolation to solace and peace. Haydn's Symphony No. 49 'The Passion' is dark and theatrical. Finnish composer Magnus Lindberg has the last word in his powerful statement against totalitarianism - Accused, with the extraordinary soprano Anu Komsi joining the orchestra. This dramatic work presents transcripts from three interrogations: that of a victim of the French Revolution; the transcript of a Stasi interrogation in East Germany during the 1960s; and one from the recent Chelsea Manning Wikileaks trial.
