After their debut in 2001 and having travelled the Silk Route to Macao four
years ago, the Austrian choir returns with new offerings of heaven and earth.
Orff, Isaac and Poulenc give the initial musical steps, warming up the voices
for Bernstein’s Mass and Fauré’s Requiem. Polkas and waltzes by
Strauss open the way for texts by Heine, Caroline Alice Elgar and even passages
from the Finnish epic Kalevala, lilting along with contemporary authors
like Ager, Blackwell or Ross. Kerem Sezen steers the Haydnchor of the Vienna
Boys Choir over musical waves, dropping anchor in the deep waters of the
Germanic tradition.
Duration: approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes,
