Mogens Dahl Chamber Choir introduces a number of striking works by Alfred Schnittke in collaboration with Athelas Sinfonietta Copenhagen and Golden Days Festival.
He was basically an unknown outside the Soviet Union until the early 80s and he was not popular amongst the ruling elite of his homeland. His music was found to be highbrow and elitist; however, after the Wall fell, he moved to Hamburg and, in no time, experienced being a great and well-known name.
The music of Alfred Schnittke unfolds in all genres and many styles. Best known is probably his suite in old-fashioned style, which was used as a DR P2 signature tune. This concert sees the performance of one of his rarer works: Lebenslauf (life story), in which the stubbornly ticking metronome plays a role, amongst others.
