Richard WAGNER Tristan und Isolde: Prelude & Liebestod
James LEDGER Cello Concerto (World Premiere)
Richard STRAUSS Don Juan
Richard STRAUSS Der Rosenkavalier: Suite

Asher Fisch conductor
Li-Wei Qin cello

The yearning Prelude and transcendent Liebestod from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde opens an evening of musical passion, desire, and abandon. Acclaimed cellist Li-Wei Qin brings his superb musicianship to the world premiere of James Ledger’s new Concerto. Asher Fisch then sweeps WASO through Strauss’ depiction of the swaggering exploits of legendary libertine Don Juan and the sumptuous elegance of music from his grand opera, Der Rosenkavalier.

James Ledger’s Cello Concerto commissioned for WASO by Geoff Stearn.
