Chameleon Arts Ensemble – To Wake the Dead: Tchaikovsky, Howells, Albert, Vierne
Tchaikovsky shares misty reflections of a dear place, and Howells contemplates an England, and a way of life, destroyed by the First World War. Vierne’s epic, late-Romantic treasure is a powerful and emotionally charged work conceived as a votive offering for his son who was killed in action. Stephen Albert adapts James Joyce’s nearly incomprehensible text – with its wordplay, dreamlike ambiguity, and half-remembered fragments – into a moving exploration of love, loss, and the cyclical nature of life itself.
