A musical homage to the world of the poet Rainer Maria Rilke by the twin brothers Alexander & Konstantin Wladigeroff. They are accompanied on this journey by some world-famous soloists such as: Andreas Schol, Krassimira Stoyanova, Sarah Traubel, Theodora Nestorova, Christian Rainer (as the narrator), Wiener Sägerknaben and members of the Morphing Chamber Orchestra, led by Tomasz Wabnic.

Leonhard Lechner (ca 1553-1606) was a Catholic South Tyrolean who converted to Protestantism at the age of 18 and is described as an erudite theologian. He is considered the most important mediator of Orlando di Lasso's musical style for Protestant church music. It is not only in his motet passion of 1593 that he shows a special talent for combining the contrapuntal movement of the German tradition with the explicit interpretation of words in the Italian style. Henning Wiegrabe and the Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart underline this impressively in their colorful performance.

After the dearth of major festivals in the middle of the weeks following Trinity Sunday, the end of the Lutheran church year sees two important ones, the feast of St. Michael and All Angels and Reformation Day. Both fall on fixed dates, so that their position in relation to the numbered Sundays after Trinity varies from year to year. Reformation Day celebrates Martin Luther’s historic nailing of his 95 Theses to the door of the church of Wittenberg Castle, and it is observed on the anniversary of the event, 31 October (except in a few places which chose to do so on the Sunday following that date).

The encounter of different epochs is often the decisive moment of tension in music programmes. Chorwerk Ruhr chooses a particularly original path in its latest prank: a central work by Heinrich Schütz is juxtaposed with what Nikolaus Brass, born in 1949, develops from his encounter with the work of arguably the greatest German vocal composer of the early Baroque.

»Le nozze di Figaro« gilt mit Recht als Musterbeispiel einer musikalischen Komödie. Gemeinsam mit seinem Librettisten Lorenzo Da Ponte war dem 30-jährigen Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart eine Oper gelungen, die neue Maßstäbe setzte – mit ihrer Vitalität, ihren blitzschnellen Umschwüngen, ihren vielfachen Irrungen und Wirrungen und einer Musik, die tiefe Empfindsamkeit ebenso in sich trägt wie Humor und Esprit.
