Wednesday, January 24: Deutsche Welle Festival Concerts (DWF 17/18, No. 4)
Romanesque Night
Highlights from a four-hour yearly event with cult status. The voices of twin brothers Ratko and Radiša Teofilović from Serbia render folk songs in an ancient church style with spinetingling results. Music researcher and choral conductor Stephan Morent has pieced together Gregorian chant never yet heard in modern times. And Germany's best-known living composer, Wolfgang Rihm, created a piece for voices and instruments sounding both fresh and archaic.
Recorded by West German Radio, Cologne (WDR) in the Church of St. Mary in the Capitol, Cologne, on June 23, 2017
