The Hamburg Oratorio Choir will be performing a rarely performed work in the Laeiszhalle: Max Bruch’s »Lied von der Glocke«, an extremely impressive, powerful-sounding setting of Friedrich Schiller’s famous poem of the same name. In this oratorio, the Swiss composer succeeded in 1878 in translating Schiller’s poem about the human life cycle and the social significance of traditions and community into extremely expressive music and filling it with deep emotional content.
