Performer: Balthasar-Neumann-Chor

Rossini’s Petite messe solennelle, stripped to piano, harmonium and voices, unfolds like a musical sphinx in the Balthasar-Neumann’s performance at the Elbphilharmonie. 

The Canadian director's aesthetic is a perfect fit for Gluck's work. Dazzling performances by Gaëlle Arquez and Stéphane Degout. Great musical direction by Thomas Hengelbrock.

Under conductor Thomas Hengelbrock, the Tonhalle Orchester ensemble and 60-voice configuration of the Balthasar Neumann Choir perform the legendary Elijah oratorio at Zurich’s Tonhalle Maag.

Barcelona’s dazzling modernista concert venue sees guest soloists and orchestras from across the world appear in this year’s season, with highlights almost too many to mention.

The founder of the choir talks about the extensive research of their repertoire which reaches from the Renaissance to contemporary works.
