Dream away on a bed of strings
Iconic music. In this case, that term is highly appropriate! The Protecting Veil is based on eight icons that depict eight episodes in the life of the Virgin Mary. In it John Tavener tries ‘to capture some of the almost cosmic power of the Mother of God’. In this performance, the mouthpiece of his heavenly visions is no one less than Pieter Wispelwey. No less iconic is Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. BRYGGEN – Jolente De Maeyer's Bruges string orchestra – make the music sparkle in Max Richter's ingenious recomposition of this much-loved classic.
