Utrenja
Warsaw Philharmonic Antoni Wit Penderecki’s Utrenja was inspired by the Orthodox liturgy for Holy Saturday with its focus on the lamentation of Christ’s death and the Easter Sunday morning service commemorating the Resurrection. The composer remarks that “Utrenja is a combination of pure, a cappella vocal writing and orchestral effects (for strings and percussion) very much connected with electronic music.” Enthusiastically received by audiences, it stands beside his Polish Requiem (8.557386-87) and St. Luke Passion (8.557149) as one of the towering masterpieces of modern Polish music. OPUS ARTE presents: Teatro Real’s majestic production of Handel’s vivid tragedy, Tamerlano, stars a Lear-like Plácido Domingo as the Turkish Sultan Bajazet, caught between pride, love and loyalty. A uniquely heroic Domingo heads a superb cast, including Sara Mingardo, Monica Bacelli and Ingela Bohlin. From EUROARTS Janácek’s The Cunning Little Vixen was described by its composer as “a comic opera with a sad ending.” It is a profoundly poetic tale for which the composer wrote some wonderful, life-enriching music. “His music is quite PG simply overwhelmingly moving,” says André Engel, who, working with an outstanding cast, directed this new production for the Paris Opera.
