An ecumenical night in Oslo Cathedral: The Oslo Philharmonic in Mendelssohn and Bruckner

Aksel Tollåli, 12th March

Pairing Mendelssohn’s Fifth Symphony, the so-called “Reformation Symphony”, and Bruckner’s Third Mass in F minor seemed to me at first a rather novel, but very interesting idea. It was perhaps not the most daring of programmes, but certainly a very interesting one, picking a symphony steeped in Protestant tradition and then a Catholic mass.
