The two works are classics of concerts for children who are enjoying the same worldwide success: the musical tale "Peter and the Wolf" by Prokofiev and "The Carnival of the Animals" by Camille Saint:Saëns, which the latter described : probably with a wink : like a "Great Zoological Fantasy". Is the gist of it that way? Not at all. Because the question arises as to why adults appreciate the story of the brave Peter and the bad wolf as much as children. It probably has to do with the great music of Prokofiev. It should also be remembered that Saint:Saëns composed his "Carnival" for a private concert at home, that is to say for the entertainment of adults. And the latter apparently couldn't help laughing, so much so that the composer suddenly got scared and strictly banned the publication of his charming work, fearing that his serious works would no longer be taken seriously. In a way, he was proved right: in terms of popularity with young and old alike, no other work by Saint:Saëns can compete with the "Carnival of the Animals".

As one of postmodern music's most celebrated and high-profile composers, Philip Glass' myriad orchestral works, operas, film scores, and dance pieces proved essential to the development of ambient and new age sounds, and his fusions of Western and world musics were among the earliest and most successful global experiments of their kind. Tirelessly exploring and pushing boundaries since the early '60s, Glass produced multiple breakthrough works that helped define entire musical movements, with standouts including 1976's durational opera Einstein on the Beach, 1982's collection of more accessible neo-classical pieces Glassworks, and stellar film scores perfecting the mood for The Thin Blue Line, Kundun, The Hours, and many, many more.

Hungarian composer Paul Abrahám enjoyed huge success across Europe with his "jazz operettas", not least in Weimar Berlin where his works scored for an orchestra augmented by a jazz band caused a sensation. Ball im Savoy has a plot reminiscent of Die Fledermaus and its variety of influences, some European and some reflective of contemporary American popular song, won the kind of acclaim only equalled by Franz Lehár. The premiere, which took place in December 1932, was for some the last major cultural event of Weimar Germany.

Roderick Williams and Iain Burnside complete their survey of Schubert’s song cycles with this recording of Winterreise. Composed in the late 1820s, towards the end of Schubert’s tragically short life, Winterreise (Winter Journey) is a setting of twenty-four poems by Wilhelm Müller and describes a traveller leaving the town which was the home of the object of his unrequited love, to embark on a long journey, through a chill, wintry landscape, which ends in near-suicidal despair.

Das Programm ist eine Liederreise - vornehmlich per Schiff - als Metapher für das Leben. Es beginnt mit einem Stück über einen Chor, der sich zur Probe einfindet; der Chor ist ein Abbild der Gesellschaft.Zunächst unruhig ("a multileggèd beast"), müssen sich die Sänger erst finden, bevor sie einen homogenenKlang entwickeln, zusammen singen können. Die Reise beginnt mit einem Arbeitslied (Banana Boat Song);von der Karibik und dem amerikanischen Kontinent geht es ostwärts, Richtung Sonne, über Europa undAsien bis nach Neuseeland. Das Programm endet mit "Tarakihi" - einem Maori-Haka über die "Chorzikade",eine spezielle Grillenart, die tatsächlich im Chor singt und dem "Wellerman"-Shanty, dem Lied, das wie
kein zweites für die Stimmung in der Corona-Pandemie steht, das vom sehnsüchtigen Warten auf denWellerman erzählt, dem Versorgungsschiff, das Zucker, Tee und Rum bringt. Ihr Publikum entlassen dieWiener Sängerknaben mit Willie Nelsons "On the Road Again": Es gibt ein Leben nach der Pandemie.
