Programme
Slovenian Philharmonic Choir
Stephen Layton, conductor
Martin Kozjek, baritone
Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, one of many lesser-known nineteenth-century German composers, is remembered primarily for his numerous vocal and organ compositions. Today, his Abendlied is one of the most popular and frequently performed compositions of the Romantic era. No less beautiful is his Mass in E flat major, a setting of the Mass Ordinary for double choir. These works will be accompanied by compositions by three of Rheinberger’s contemporaries: Anton Bruckner, Peter Cornelius and Franz Liszt.
