KlangForum Heidelberg with its usual exciting, contrasting and evocative programme of important choral works: Domenico Scarlatti follows Mary's suffering under the cross with impulsive, very sensual music. Old forms filled with a new, romantic spirit can be found in the three motets by Johannes Brahms. In the world premiere of Salvatore Sciarrino's work "Due Cori" from the "Agamemnon" tragedy by Aeschylus, Cassandra states the impermanence of human destiny. "Mit geschlossenem Mund", the singers bid farewell to the great Wolfgang Rihm.

Concert without intermission

The concert will be recorded and played on April 21st as a lunchtime concert on SWR Kultur from 13:05.
