A live encounter with “Pierrot Lunaire,” the iconic melodrama by 20th-century Austrian visionary Arnold Schoenberg, is always a highly anticipated and special event – not only within Latvia’s concert life.
As part of the Summer Night Chamber Music series, this masterpiece will be performed by musicians of Sinfonietta Rīga together with soprano Katrīna Paula Felsberga, currently on the brink of international renown. Raised in Rīga and further refined in Berlin, she now returns with Schoenberg’s masterpiece, which first captivated the ears of Berlin’s sophisticated audience in 1912.
The text, based on poems by Belgian symbolist Albert Giraud, is rich in aphorisms and symbols, with poignant insights and commentary that resonate powerfully with the times we live in today. Schoenberg grasped this multifaceted poetic world down to the finest detail – how else to explain the emotionally vast score that gives equal weight to whispers and speech-song, dazzling tonal color play, dizzying rhythmic patterns, and precisely calculated pitch structures?
