Let your imagination carry you away with meditative music and compelling storytelling.
Reich’s brightly pulsing Proverb considers an idea from the philosopher Wittgenstein: ‘how small a thought it takes to fill a whole life.’
Anna Clyne – the most performed living female composer – has arranged the piece for orchestra, transforming voices into woodwind and electric organs to muted brass to celebrate Reich’s 90th birthday.
Inspired by the centuries-old fairytale collection The Thousand and One Nights, when a murderous sultan marries clever Scheherazade, she delays her execution with nightly storytelling and cliff-hanger endings.
Here, dynamic British conductor Tess Jackson conducts Rimsky-Korsakov’s fascinating melodies.
