ELGAR Sea Pictures
HOLST The Planets
Daniel Harding leads The Cleveland Orchestra from the Miami seaside to the farthest reaches of the solar system! Elgar’s sublime song cycle Sea Picturesprovides open water for Avery Amereau to demonstrate her rich, velvety contralto. Later, Holst’s orchestral suite The Planets conjures a galaxy’s worth of emotions — from the bellicose dissonance of “Mars, the Bringer of War” to the electrifying “Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity.”
