Program
Dying for love (“Liebestod”), an extraordinary act devoid of any worldly logic, is also the final aria sung by the protagonist of Tristan and Isolde and one of the highpoints of Romantic music. For the reencounter between the two lovers, Richard Wagner wrote one of the most fascinating pieces of music of all times. The Barcelona Symphony Band’s assistant conductor, Carlos Ramón, offers us a programme that revolves around these two Wagnerian characters.
