The grandeur of Anton Bruckner meets a blaze of passion from a neglected French genius, and a soaring hymn of praise encounters the untamed spirit of Lithuanian folksong. This is a gloriously unexpected programme; but then, Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla is a conductor who thinks beyond the conventions, never happier than when bringing powerful musical personalities together and watching them strike sparks off each other. Now, for one night in Paris, Lili Boulanger’s stirring psalm-setting and Bruckner’s mighty Sixth Symphony frame powerful choral statements by Bruckner and Romualdas Gražinis. An evening of adventure and exaltation from the Chorus and Philharmonic Orchestra of Radio France.
