Johannes Brahms: Rinaldo, Op. 50
Zu dem Strande! Zu der Barke! (Chorus)
O lasst mich einen Augenblick noch hier (Rinaldo)
Stelle her der goldnen Tag Paradiese (Rinaldo)
Sachte kommt! (Rinaldo, Chorus)
Aber alles verkundet (Rinaldo, Chorus)
Weh! Was seh' ich, welch ein Bild! (Rinaldo, Chorus)
Zuruck nur! Zurucke! (Chorus)
Zum zweiten Male (Rinaldo)
Und umgewandelt seh' ich die Holde (Rinaldo, Chorus)
Schon sind sie erhoret (Rinaldo, Chorus)
Auf dem Meere - Segel schwellen (Chorus)
Das erfrischet und verwischet (Rinaldo, Chorus)
February 2013
“de Billy sheds an optimistic light on this dramatic cantata, starting with a male chorus whose ringing summons to duty doesn't however overwhelm the orchestra. All forces are indeed skilfully weighted, de Billy and Johan Botha equal to the heroic or sorrowful in the score.”
