Weber himseIf conducted the first performance in the Dresden Hofkirche in 1818. Thanks to the creation at the very same time it is also calIed "Freischützmesse". More than 250 years later the rarely performed work is revived in the Basilika Waldsassen. Horst Stein, Iong-time principaI conductor of the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and famous for his work at Bayreuth Festival, conducts a first cIass cast with the soIoists Krisztina Laki, Marga Schiml, Josef Protschka and Jan-Hendrik Rootering.
Arthaus Musik presents the performance of Haydn's "Missa Sanctae CeaciIiae" conducted by Rafael KubeIík Iive from the Basilika Ottobeuren. The work is a one of the highlights of the wonderful KubeIík era. Under his guidance the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks also has become one of the world's foremost Haydn orchestras. When the orchestra found the baroque BasiIica of Ottobeuren as the perfect venue for sacred and romantic repertoire, their concerts enjoyed huge popularity, Ieaving a lasting impression on those who experienced them at first hand. |
