Metamorphosen
St John's Smith Square, St John's Church Smith Square, SW1P 3HA , [Venue Details]Poignant, expressive, and dramatic: Strauss’ masterpiece weeps with emotion.
Written for 23 solo strings at the end of World War II, Metamorphosen is a musical farewell to a world shattered by conflict and devastation, tracing grief, memory, and the quiet echoes of beauty that remain.
Every phrase is charged with intensity, yet quiet moments of lyricism offer consolation amidst the sorrow.
From this profound reflection emerges Tchaikovsky’s beloved Serenade for Strings. Stylistic, intricately crafted, and full of warmth, its luminosity radiates long after the final note.
