PASTORALE
Overview
Intro
Bridging the gap between tradition and modernity
Barbara Klossner (Miss Helvetia), yodel
Philippe Bach, conductor
Le Chœur des Armaillis de la Gruyère
Bern Chamber Orchestra
The concert program combines the timeless beauty of Beethoven's Symphony No. 6 "Pastorale" with the innovative power of contemporary Swiss compositions. Beethoven's masterpiece, a musical portrait of rural life, reflects the proximity to folk music and forms the perfect bridge to the works of Reto Stadelmann and Oliver Waespi.
Stadelmann's "Yodel Serenade" for mezzo-soprano and strings brings the sound world of Swiss folk music into the present in a fascinating way. Waespi's world premiere of "Vision d'exil" for mezzo-soprano, male choir and orchestra draws in particular on folk songs from Fribourg and shows how folk music can serve as a source of inspiration for modern soundscapes.
With mezzo-soprano Barbara Klossner, alias Miss Helvetia, and the renowned Choeur des Armaillis de la Gruyère, this project will be an extraordinary experience.
