Kiosk Radio Playlist #11
Stories from the North
Hojotoho heioha! With Wagner's epic Ring cycle finally arriving at La Monnaie this month, this playlist takes you on a (valkyrie) ride through northern mythology. We halt at a historically inspired performance of the Edda, Henry Purcell's rendition of the King Arthur myth and Edvard Grieg's Peer Gynt, only to end where it once all began: at the bottom of the Rhine, where precious gold engenders a four-part epic music drama.
