Obra: Armonica, for glass harmonica and orchestra

Widmann brings his composing personality to conducting Mozart, and uses the glass harmonica to create a sound that's as eerie as it's unforgettable.

 L'Orchestre de l'Opéra de Paris, à la sonorité si pure et lumineuse, accompagne Ekaterina Gubanova dans Wagner et nous fait découvrir l'harmonica de verre dans une œuvre de Jörg Widmann.

The beginning of Prom 23 was utterly surreal. I found myself confronted by sounds I had never heard before in a concert hall.
