The concert programme was specially geared
to the acoustics of the church. The rendition of W. A.
Mozart’s Laudate Dominum, for instance, which was performed from the middle gallery far above
the seats by an impressive soprano with
violin and organ accompaniment, filled the space, taking the listeners’ breath
away. The German Mass Sanktus,
composed by F. Schubert, already gave a notion of the tonal potential of the wonderful
voices gathered in the church. Finally, when all the musicians were singing Holy God, we Praise Thy Name in
conjunction with the audience, the force and energy of the voices and
instruments could be sensed; the gigantic choir accompanied by the brass made the
audience poise in awe.
The first Spring Awakening
church concert was a total success. The audience was enthusiastic about the tremendous
musical performance, the unique atmosphere and the beautiful spring decorations.
This event was a worthy ‘recompense’ for the Nachklang concerts, which only take place every two years. There is
good news for all Nachklang fans; the
open-air concert is already arranged and is due to take place on 7 June, 2018.
