Perry’s Symphonie fantastique
Simply Classic
Programme
Hong Kong composer Fung Lam was in his 20s when the BBC
commissioned Unlocking for a radio programme in 2008. That
made him the youngest Chinese composer ever commissioned
to write for the BBC and also confirmed him as a significant
orchestral composer on the world stage. Hear that work LIVE
for the first time in Asia alongside two weird and wonderful
tales from France! Hear Associate Conductor Perry So bring to
life Berlioz’s vivid portrayal of an opium-induced nightmare
– complete with witches’ revelries and a musical beheading
– as he directs one of the great orchestral showpieces of the
19th century, while Argentinean mezzo-soprano, Daniela Mack,
revels in the exotic and sensual pleasures of Ravel’s song-cycle
derived from the legendary Arabian Nights tales.
