Bachtrack, 16th February

Written while the composer was imprisoned in the Theresienstadt ghetto, Viktor Ullmann’s powerful opera imagines an end to death.

Danny Riley, 2nd October

Mozart’s final months and Requiem mass are a source of popular fascination. But was 1791 really his annus horribilis?

See The Emperor of Atlantis (Der Kaiser von Atlantis) in

Omer Meir Wellber’s Mozart-Ullmann mash-up sounds like a terrible idea, but absolutely hits the mark.
