Concerto de Aniversário da Metropolitana | Orquestra Sinfónica Metropolitana

Joana Carneiro and Metropolitana meet again on a festive day. Together they perform an orchestral suite in which the names of the planets appear as astral messengers. Alan Leo's pioneering book The Art of Synthesis thus inspired Gustav Holst, who in 1916 recreated himself around the idea that the planets of the solar system influence human personality traits. At the end of this program, and in the turn of The Mystic (Neptune), space is given to planet Earth. The symphonic poem Lisbon Earthquake, by Armando José Fernandes, evokes the tragedy of 1755.
