Details
The Balthasar Neumann Chor & Orchestra, conducted by Lionel Sow, presents a sonic journey through centuries of sacred music, from the Renaissance to the Romantic era. Palestrina and Donati, with their pure and balanced lines, transport us to the most refined spirituality. Bach, in his orchestration of Palestrina’s Missa sine nomine, adds his harmonic and architectural depth. The climax comes with Bruckner’s Mass No. 2, a work that blends choral majesty with symphonic lyricism. An experience of introspection and solemnity, delivered by one of Europe’s most prestigious choral ensembles.
