On 9 December the San Francisco Symphony gave the world premiere of Robin Holloway’s Clarissa Sequence, offering American audiences the first opportunity to hear music from his acclaimed opera, based on the novel by Samuel Richardson. Tilson Thomas has long been a champion of Holloway’s music: his inclusion of a scene from Clarissa in his first concert with the London Symphony Orchestra in 1988 helped prompt English National Opera to stage the work. This in turn has led ten years later to the commissioning of this new three movement sequence, the first movement with soprano encompassing Clarissa’s impassioned ‘Mad Scene’, rich in Bergian intensity, and the other two weaving together orchestral highlights from the remainder of the score.* Estimated prices
