In 'Das Licht' Philippe Herreweghe combines the captivating romantic choral work that is a testimony to man's doubts and fears about death. Here is a programme which empathically deals with these themes: Herreweghe knows his classics inside out and with Bruckner's symphonies he has definitely earned the praise.
Before the extremely religious Anton Bruckner began writing his major symphonies, he composed three masses. To play the Mass No. 2 in E minor, arranged in an exceptional manner for chorus and brass, the Collegium Vocale and the Accademia Chigiana choir have found the perfect sparring partner in the wind players from the I Solisti del Vento.
