Oper In 3 Akten. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. Rheinberger was inspired to compose his first opera by the great cycle of aquarelles entitled “Von den Sieben Raben” by the painter Moritz von Schwind [1804–1871], with whom he was acquainted.

À la fin des années 1970, Birtwistle a vécu sur l'île de Raasay large de la côte ouest de l'Ecosse. Il a été déçu de découvrir que grâce à des siècles de presbytérien écossais interdiction n'y avait pas de survivant culture musicale indigène, bien qu'il y ait des échos d'un passé esprit de la musique. Dans 'The Tree of Spirits', il a tenté d'évoquer l'esprit de la musique - ce qui aurait survécu m…

Par PART ARVO. Arvo Pärt has been fascinated by the life and work of St Silouan of Athos (1866-1938) for many years.

Pärt's new work Adam's Lament is once again based on a text by Silouan, in which the monk laments Adam's pain over the loss of paradis…

Tonalité : F-Dur - Hob. Xxii:1. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Despite all of its folk-line simplicity of melody, Haydn's first mass contains a pious note that, just like its youthful verve, still was to hold fascination for him in his late years when, in 1805, he re-orchestrated his first work. The first version of the mass is considered to have been composed in 1749 or 1750. It was around the same time …
