Spotlight on Rehearsal: Barbara Hannigan (2015)

“Let me tell you” for soprano and orchestra by Danish composer Hans Abrahamsen is based on lines of Ophelia from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. It is dedicated to Canadian sopranist Barbara Hannigan, who premiered it under the baton of Andris Nelsons in Berlin in 2013. Now, Nelsons and Hannigan performed it in Munich, together with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra. BR-KLASSIK joined them at a rehearsal.
