What's Interesting

Lutosławski’s interpretation of music for a funeral, and Bryce Dessner's Réponse Lutoslawski, which was inspired by the Musique funèbre, open this enlightening program. In his Tenebre, Dessner shares his take on the typical music for a Tenebrae service, where the extinguishing of candles symbolizes Christ's death. But unlike the service's descent into darkness, Dessner inverts it and takes listeners on a journey from darkness to light.
