An evening of choral contrasts as Zimmermann's oratorio, a hard-hitting prophecy of loss and emptiness, stands in total contrast to the hopeful humanity of Brahms' German Requiem.
Five days after completing his 'ecclesiastical action' And Turning Then, I Saw There Great Injustice That is Done Under the Heavens, Bernd Alois Zimmermann took his own life. His oratorio on passages from Ecclesiastes and Dostoevsky is a stark piece of performance art inextricably connected to the Fluxus school of late 1960s Germany.
It stands in utter contrast to the hopeful humanity of Brahms' German Requiem, and Brahms' glowing messages of brotherhood and consolation will feel renewed by Zimmermann's urgent challenge.
