Göteborgs Konserthus To Heaven with Hannigan

The conducting soprano Barbara Hannigan always surprises her audiences with well-considered and innovative concerts. On this occasion she gathers Debussy’s ethereal clouds, the ascension of Handel’s Messiah, Stravinsky’s choral tribute to the Lord in the firmament of his power, and Ligeti’s harmonic crystal sounds – music that has triumphed over gravity. Pure beauty from four orchestral masters who have made invaluable contributions to the history of music. Barbara Hannigan is the principal guest conductor of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra.
