Karen Slack, soprano
Liev Schreiber, narrator
Ludwig van Beethoven, arr. Andreas Tarkmann – Egmont, Op. 84
Orpheus stands up for justice and freedom in this homage to courageous voices. Beethoven, an unyielding critic of despots, channeled his ardor and rage into music for Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s historical drama about a local hero defying foreign occupiers. Liev Schreiber narrates an incisive new translation by Philip Boehm, while the clarion voice of Karen Slack and the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra illuminate the eternal truths of Egmont.
The broadcast will begin October 17, 2020 at 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific. Available to enjoy until October 22, 2020 at 11:59pm Eastern / 8:59pm Pacific.
