Description
Program
Esa-Pekka Salonen:
Catch and Release
Igor Strawinsky:
L'Histoire du soldat (story of soldiers)
Seduced by the promise of great wealth, a soldier surrenders his violin and with it his soul to the devil. A fatal exchange... In chamber play-like scenes and with cabaret-like music, Stravinsky’s The Soldier’s Tale deals with an existential theme: what is more important? Money or the bond with loved ones? The solo violin is played by our first concertmaster Noah Bendix-Balgley, and actress Nina Hoss guides through the piece as the narrator. The evening opens with Catch and Release, a work by our Composer in Residence Esa-Pekka Salonen.
