STIRRING SOUNDS
»When love and strength are united, the favour of the Gods rewards Man.« It is this almost incantatory pronouncement that brings Ludwig van Beethoven’s Fantasy for piano, chorus and orchestra to an end. The words of the poet Christoph Kuffner aptly describe what this relatively unknown work by the Bonn-based composer is all about: In a similar way to his later Ninth Symphony, symphonic and choral music are married here – the orchestra, singers and piano enter together into a new experimental whole.

Taking a completely different form, Dmitri Shostakovich’s 13th Symphony from the early 1960s has the epithet »Babi Yar« – giving a strong clue as to the historical context of the work: the SS massacre of Jews near Kiev in 1941. This symphony marks the moment Shostakovich finally throws off his political shackles, revealing himself as an artist of unflinching conviction – who stands up unconditionally for humanism and freedom with a work that is immensely emotive.
