Something I Can Never Have description

A reflection on longing, from the tormented lovelorn woman of Janáček’s Kreutzer Sonata to Schubert’s yearning waltzes. Arvo Pärt charts the path of Sarah’s infertility – the absence that defines her – as it transforms into the presence of Isaac. 

Performed by Satu Vänskä, Kristian Winther, Caleb Wright, Li-Wei Qin, Chloe Lankshear, Louis Hurley, David Greco, Donald Nicolson, David Jones & Katherine Tonkin.
