Description:

Persephone" is a Greek mythological tale with music by Stravinsky and a libretto by André Zid. It is said to be a secret piece that is rarely performed due to the size of the orchestra, tenor solo, chorus, and narration. This is a live recording of the memorable Japan premiere at the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra's 700th subscription concert. It is a masterful performance that is a testament to the long and trusting relationship built between Lazarev and the Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. The three-dimensional sound and vivid tone draw the listener into the myth of Persephone. Year of recording: 18-19 May 2018 / Location: Suntory Hall, Tokyo (DSD 11.2 MHz recording)
