Surprising parallels and inspiring contrasts – when soprano Anna Prohaska, cellist Nicolas Altstaedt and Francesco Corti at the organ and harpsichord pull the past and present into a musical dialogue, impressive discoveries are guaranteed. In a profound and far-reaching programme which combines compositions ranging from Marin Marais to Luciano Berio, from George Frideric Handel to Jörg Widmann, the singer and the two instrumentalists undertake a journey to transcendental sonic spheres on Oct. 26, searching for traces of the Old Testament in music.
