Soprano Renee Fleming’s program for March 13, 2012 has finally been announced. The conductor is Ms. Fleming’s own, Sebastian Lang-Lessing.
I’m most excited about two of the selections: Ravel’s Shéhérazade, and Korngold’s Marietta’s Lied from Die Tote Stadt, two of the most beautiful pieces ever written for voice and orchestra.
| Hector Berlioz | Roman Carnival Overture |
| Maurice Ravel | • Shéhérazade |
| I. Asia | |
| II. The Enchanted Flute | |
| III. The Indifferent One | |
| Charles Gounod | Ballet Music from Faust (excerpts) |
| Charles Gounod | • Ah! je ris de me voir si belle (Jewel Song) |
INTERMISSION | |
| Ricky Ian Gordon | • Night Flight to San Francisco |
| Leonard Bernstein | Overture to Candide |
| Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard,Christopher Wolstenholme | • Endlessly |
| Leonard Cohen | • Hallelujah |
| Benjamin Gibbard | • Soul Meets Body |
| Erich Wolfgang Korngold | Overture to Captain Blood |
| Franz Lehar | • Vilja-Lied from The Merry Widow |
| Erich Wolfgang Korngold | • Marietta’s Lied from Die Tote Stadt |
NOTE: Interestingly, I picked up this information (the first clue, at least) from Oregonlive.com. Then, intrigued, I went to the Oregon Symphony’s web site to see if the complete program was available, and voila!
