Conducted by Jakob Lehmann, the Vox Luminis choir and Anima Eterna Brugge, both ensembles in residence at the Concertgebouw Brugge, are joining forces to offer their historically informed interpretation of Fauré’s Requiem.  They chose the 1893 version, the first ‘complete’ version. This astonishing and atypical piece was best described by Fauré himself: “It has been said that it does not express the dread of death; someone has called it a lullaby of death. But that’s how I feel about death: as a happy release, an aspiration to happiness beyond, rather than as a painful passage”.

In the mirror, two powerful and seminal works by Franz Liszt – whom Fauré admired and whom he went to meet expressly in Weimar in 1877 – the symphonic poem Les Préludes and the famous Totentanz, a paraphrase on the Dies Irae — the liturgical part discarded by Fauré in his Requiem — under the fingers of the young pianist Joseph Moog.

Magic on the Amsterdam canals

According to German folk legend, nutcrackers bring good luck. And that’s certainly proven true for the international ballet world. Since the premiere of the original version in 1892, The Nutcracker has become the most popular ballet in the world, especially around Christmas time. That’s also the case in the Netherlands, where 325,000 people have already been enchanted by the heart-warming version of the ballet created by Toer van Schayk and Wayne Eagling.
