Aedín’s featured artist today is American soprano Dawn Upshaw who has performed on more than fifty recordings, including the million-selling Symphony No. 3 by Henryk Gorecki. Live concert highlights come from Madrid and the RTVE Symphony Orchestra conducted by Carlos Kalmar performing Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C, Op. 68 and Rendering, a 1989/1990 composition by the Italian composer Luciano Berio. Cast in three movements for full orchestra, it takes as its structure the fragmentary score of Schubert’s uncompleted D major symphony.
