Blessed Be I - Michael Finnissy

It remains a mystery how music appears and comes alive. In his song cycle "Blessed be", Michael Finnissy explores sensitively twisting and turning lines, shifting between Music's ancient roots and the 'moment of Now'. Magic seems to arise everywhere, if we open up our senses. The performers in ‘Blessed be 1’ are Lotte Betts-Dean, Valerie Wellbanks ('cello) and Olga Stezhko (piano).

The letters of Nastasya Filippovna - Sidney Corbett

Complexity culminates into tragedy in Dostoevsky's masterpiece "The Idiot" - and it might be nearly impossible to set it into music. With the "The letters of Nastasya Filippovna", Sidney Corbett reduced the drama to a maximum of intensity and obsession. If love might never be possible - beauty always is.

Wiegenlied - Moritz Eggert

Romantic poetry has been attracting many composers with its musical colours. In his "Wiegenlied", Moritz Eggert picked a poem by Clemens Brentano to dive deeply into the dark moments of romanticism. Sabine Bergk talks with Moritz about lullabies in turbulent times. We wish you a wonderful Christmas!

The Voice of Desire - Judith Weir

Bird song and art song are very close, even though birds know better than we do. Judith Weir talks with Sabine Bergk about the refreshing and optimistic power of music. Welcoming the day, as it is written in Robert Bridges poem "Nightingales" - that Judith set into music in her song cycle "The Voice of Desire" - might be close to welcoming every moment in Zen Buddhism. Just one moment or even one chord can be more than you would ever think, if you start exploring it.
