Poet and soprano Diana Damrau performs Iain Bell’s setting of her own words, paired with Strauss by conductor Gianandrea Noseda.
Iain Bell’s The Hidden Place sets poetry written by soprano soloist Diana Damrau and depicts the intimate moments shared by two lovers throughout the four seasons of the year.
We also hear music by Richard Strauss, journeying from his formative years – Don Juan, the breakaway tone poem which solidified the 24-year-old composer’s reputation and Till Eulenspiegel, which chronicles the misadventures of a German peasant hero – to the final scene of his opera Capriccio, written at the end of his life.
