MDR-Konzerte am Morgen: Missa sacra

In the organizer's words:

MDR Symphony Orchestra
MDR Radio Choir
Dennis Russell Davies - Conductor

Benjamin Britten: Sinfonia da Requiem

Max Reger: Requiem op. 144b for baritone, choir and orchestra

Robert Schumann: Missa sacra in C minor op. 147

Three great voices of music history meet in this impressive program: Benjamin Britten's Sinfonia da Requiem unfolds its haunting tonal language between mourning and hope, Max Reger's rarely performed Requiem after Hebbel lends monumental depth to the commemoration, and Robert Schumann's Missa sacra combines intimate spirituality with romantic expressiveness. A concert full of emotional and spiritual dimensions.
