Dvorak's Requiem

Vestsjællands Oratoriekor performs Antonín Dvořák's Requiem - one of the most intense works of Romantic choral symphonies.

Death was not an unfamiliar theme for Dvořák. He and his wife lost their first three children within a few years in the late 1870s, and grief left clear marks on his music. The Requiem encompasses a broad spectrum of emotions: from rage and despair to resignation, hope and consolation - and the music shifts accordingly from the quiet and contemplative to the dramatic and powerful.

The concert brings together choir, soloists and orchestra. The soloists are soprano Signe Sneh Durholm, alto Sofie Haagen, tenor Rasmus Gravers and bass Albin Ahl.
