Description:
30-minute suite for orchestra with female chorus from Khachaturian’s celebrated ballet, Spartacus (1955). Scene 9 presents the culmination of the drama, to music strongly reminiscent of Khachaturian’s Cello Concerto: Spartacus (among treacherous pirates) faces the apparent collapse of the rebellion, and his death is followed by a powerful yet relatively restrained Requiem with chorus, followed by a stirring apotheosis.
