David Zinman conducts Beethoven and the “Neruda Songs” by Peter Lieberson
The Neruda Songs, which Peter Lieberson completed in 2005, are tender, mysterious and intense. In this concert, they are sung by mezzo-soprano Kelley O’Connor: a marvellous discovery for all fans of vocal music. Conductor David Zinman, who made a name for himself as an outstanding Beethoven interpreter, also presents the composer’s Seventh Symphony, which pulsates with graceful energy.
