Immortal Notes

Why is music immortal? Because it unmistakably encapsulates all human emotions. Mozart promised his wife Constanze a grand vocal composition after the birth of their first child. While he was still working on the Mass in C minor, little Raimund Leopold died. The inventive Pygmalion and Raphäel Pichon perform this unfinished masterpiece. With his brand new The Constellation Choir & Ensemble, John Eliot Gardiner tells a Christmas story that spans five centuries. 

The Netherlands Chamber Choir and the Residentie Orkest are in an Argentine mood and perform Ramírez's Misa criolla, among other works. In 'Alle Menschen werden Brüder' from Beethoven's Ninth, Iván Fischer conducts not only his Budapest Festival Orchestra, but also singers from all 27 member states of the European Union. A peaceful international society? It is possible!
