Kluxen - Brahms Symphony No. 3

Event Description

Brahms: Symphony No. 3
Mahler (Arr. Britten): What the Wild Flowers Tell Me
Peter Lieberson: Neruda Songs

The product of a summer’s holiday in 1883, Brahms’s Third Symphony has been described as being “…artistically the most perfect.” A single movement from Mahler’s Symphony No. 3 was the inspiration for Britten to present a musical posy: What the Wildflowers Tell Me. The poetry of Pablo Neruda moved Peter Lieberson to create a song cycle for his wife, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson, “one of the most extraordinarily affecting artistic gifts ever created by one lover to another.”
