Mozart and Pärt

As different as their music is, both are considered as a kind of holy figures: Mozart and the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt have created works that deeply touch and can lead their listeners into spiritual realms. At least for many, this is the case with Mozart's Requiem, and also Pärt's choral works remind us that beyond the visible, there is also a spiritual world that connects us all. The Dresdner Kreuzchor and the Dresdner Philharmonie continue their tradition of joint concerts with works by these two composers and at the same time commemorate the end of World War II 80 years ago.
