Majestic - Marie Jacquot & Iveta Apkalna

Two classical stars shape this extraordinary program: while the Latvian organist Iveta Apkalna lends her artistry to Camille Saint-Saëns’s majestic »Organ Symphony«, the French violist Antoine Tamestit takes center stage in Thierry Escaich’s subtle and finely wrought Viola Concerto »La nuit des chants«. The work was composed especially for him and explores the shimmering expressive possibilities of his instrument. The evening opens with Richard Wagner’s majestic »Tannhäuser« Overture.
