Di Castri’s opening gestures almost seem to evoke a lunar sunrise; between a low bass drone and high, glinting chimes, the music curves up and around to fill the space. The text weaves together Sappho, 19th-century Italian, poetry, and words by Xiaolu Guo referring to ancient Chinese legend and to the recent Chinese mission to explore the Moon’s far side. If the way the women’s voices are used early on perhaps unavoidably recalls Holst’s Planets, the rest of the sound world in this 15-minute work is entirely Di Castri’s own, and it’s fascinatingly detailed, full of shifting, dancing textures, and unexpected sounds – including rushes of wind, or perhaps radio static, conjured by the players rubbing their palms together. It deserves more performances.
Dvořák came next – although, in the spirit of Proms founder Henry Wood, whose 150th birthday falls this year, we heard a work new to the festival, the fairytale tone poem The Golden Spinning Wheel. Canellakis coaxed along the love music and drove along its bouncing folk dances.
But the big opening-night statement was Janáček’s colossal Glagolitic Mass, kicking off a festival thread of works Wood introduced to the UK. This mass is drama, not ritual, and it felt like an opera manqué thanks to thrilling singing from the BBC Symphony Chorus, fiery orchestral playing, thundering organ rhapsodics from Peter Holder and soaring vocal solos from a quartet led by soprano Asmik Grigorian and tenor Ladislav Elgr.
