Concertgebouworkest & Renée Fleming: Strauss' Vier letzte Lieder

Het Concertgebouw, Main Hall (Amsterdam)

Concertgebouw Orchestra, Manfred Honeck (Conductor), Renée Fleming (Soprano)

At the end of his long career, Richard Strauss composed the Vier letzte Lieder, a musical embrace in which calm and acceptance prevail. And what better interpreter of such calm after the storm than Renée Fleming, whose warm voice and vocal mastery every listener should be lucky enough to hear live?Over twenty years since his Concertgebouw Orchestra debut, Manfred Honeck has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the world’s leading conductors. In addition to Strauss’s Vier letzte Lieder, the Austrian conductor leads the orchestra in a self-arranged suite of highlights from Puccini’s last opera, Turandot. The music enveloping this cruel tale, sometimes highly lyrical, then exciting and exuberant, is beautifully expressed in an instrumental suite. The concert opens with Franz von Suppé’s Overture 'Dichter und Bauer', and after the interval the orchestra will perform the Scottish composer James MacMillan’s moving Larghetto.

Renée Fleming sings Strauss

Wed, Mar 5, 2025, 19:30

Royal Festival Hall (London)

Thomas Guggeis (Conductor), Renée Fleming (Soprano)

It always feels good to make music with friends – and when that friend is soprano Renée Fleming, you just know that something extra-special is on the cards. No introduction is required for one of the LPO’s best-loved guests, the American soprano whose personality lights up the world’s greatest stages and whose voice has been compared to double cream. ‘Unforgettable’ was how one critic described her 2022 Gala with the LPO, and tonight she returns to sing Richard Strauss’s radiant Four Last Songs. Music that never grows old, sung by one of the supreme voices of our time.
