Haydn Orchestra di Bolzano Trento – B Minor Mass

One of my favourite compositions, Bach’s B minor Mass, was the music of choice for the first mutual concert of the new partner towns Erlangen and Bolzano. The big choir Kantorei St.Matthäus from Erlangen, German soloists, the Haydn Orchestra Bolzano-Trento, the conductor Susanne Hartwich-Düfel and I did music together during two successful concerts, one in each town.

I am very happy to have been asked to take part in this cooperation. It was a pleasure to sing the Mass with such a full sounding orchestra and I had a blast with lovely colleagues and choir members – It felt like old times when I joined choir trips in my youth.

The bus trip was a bit too long for my taste though. The traffic jams were crazy. Going by train has to be cheaper and more easy, immediately!! Going by car alone ought to be a bad option…

Next stop on my trip through this season is a revival of the emotional chaotic program Stimmungsschwankungen together with my good friend and pianist Anna Körber. It’s about as far from Bach as I can get…
