Aigul Akhmetshina mezzo-soprano

London Philharmonic Orchestra
Edward Gardner conductor

Waves play and waterfalls plunge, the still surface of a lake reflects the midday sun and an ocean duets with the wind in a concert with saltwater on its breath.

Edward Gardner conducts the London Philharmonic Orchestra in a programme of 20th-century orchestral sound-pictures. The mercurial moods of Debussy鈥檚 La mer and rolling waters of Sibelius鈥檚 The Oceanides find answer in the gentle rolling harbour of Ravel鈥檚 song-cycle She虂he虂razade, performed 鈥� in a Proms debut 鈥� by mezzo- soprano Aigul Akhmetshina.

Tippett鈥檚 last major work takes us inland to discover a glowing 鈥榣ake full of song鈥�.
