QSO with Lisa Gasteen
8pm, Saturday 11 August 2012
QPAC Concert Hall
Conductor Johannes Fritzsch
Soprano Lisa Gasteen
Wagner/arr. Mottl Wesendonck Lieder
Bruckner Symphony No.8
Johannes Fritzsch and the QSO demonstrate the synergy they have created in their magisterial Bruckner cycle with the most awesome of all, the Eighth, a work conductors and orchestras don't perform as much as construct out of hewn granite. Despite its dark, sinister beginning, it ends in a blaze of glorious optimism, as befitted the God-fearing Bruckner. The intimacy and restrained passion of Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder capture the intensity of forbidden love, anticipating the atmosphere of his opera, Tristan & Isolde and provide an opportunity for internationally acclaimed Australian soprano and Wagner specialist, Lisa Gasteen to captivate Brisbane audiences with rapturous singing.
