Anton Bruckner: Mass No. 3 in F minor, WAB 28

Johannes Brahms: Song of Destiny, op. 54



The rarely performed "F-minor Mass" by Bruckner, whose 200th birthday is being commemorated this year, as well as the "Song of Destiny" by Johannes Brahms will be performed in Dortmund's central city church of St. Reinoldi.

The Bachchor presents two works in this program that are only four years apart in time, yet their joint presentation would have been unthinkable during the lifetimes of the composers.

For Johannes Brahms, the cool Northern German Protestant, was a declared opponent of his Viennese colleague Anton Bruckner, a staunch Catholic. Brahms did not tire of humiliating him, even denouncing his works as "a great fraud."



Confidence and pride collide with self-doubt and nervous crises – the audience, on the other hand, expects "drama and harsh beauty."
