Koor- en pianoromantiek door Groot Omroepkoor & Nathalia Milstein

Choral and piano romanticism around the theme of Peace

Arnold Schönberg composed his late Romantic peace hymn Friede auf Erden—his last tonal work—a few years before the First World War. It was a time when he 'still considered pure harmony between people (…) conceivable'. The choral works of Brahms and Wolf are absolute highlights of the Romantic repertoire, wondrously beautiful and overwhelming. 'This is me,' said Gustav Mahler of Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen. It is a fatalistic 'self-portrait' of the Romantic artist withdrawing from the worldly, and finally finding peace within himself.

Netherlands Radio Choir & Nathalia Milstein

The Netherlands Radio Choir is the only professional choir in the Netherlands that specializes in the choral symphonic repertoire. The singers in this romantic program centered on the theme of Peace prove that it also belongs to the absolute top as an a cappella choir. In this program, the choir sings a cappella as well as with piano accompaniment by Nathalia Milstein, who recently reached the final of the Queen Elisabeth Competition.
