Brahms: Schicksalslied, Op. 54
Performed by Voices New Zealand and New Zealand Symphony Orchestra conducted by James Judd.
While visiting friends in 1868, Brahms came across a poem by Friedrich Hölderlin. He was so deeply moved by this work he immediately began sketching ideas that would become Schicksalslied (Song of Destiny). Featuring a chorus of singers from Voices New Zealand, Brahms’ Song of Destiny traverses the tranquillity, havoc, drama and mystery of Hölderlin's original poem.
Recorded 27 November 2021, Michael Fowler Centre, Wellington by RNZ Concert
