For the Enraptured / SMS 2
Programme
Slovenian Philharmonic Orchestra
Alejo Pérez conductor
Urška Križnik Zupan harp
As well as the orchestra’s virtuosity, the instrumental splendour of the highlights from Strauss’ operas Intermezzo and Die Frau ohne Schatten will easily justify the absence of a solo performer as is customary in the first part of symphonic concerts. The continuation of the evening will be given a special charm by harpist Urška Križnik Zupan with a performance of Zvonimir Ciglič’s tranquil Concertino for Harp and String Orchestra, which will be followed by the sensually rapturous The Poem of Ecstasy by composer-mystic Aleksander Scriabin.
