The turn of the 19th to the 20th century was marked by numerous upheavals from the sociopolitical, socio-historical and artistic point of view. Likewise in the music scene decisively new ideas and ways of thinking, etc. spread while the old ideals were also cultivated for a long time. This resulted in a fascinating stylistic juxtaposition between the poles of Romanticism, Modernism, Impressionism and Musical Nationalism; the present selection of choral works from across Europe presented on this CD reflects this diversity in sensitive, powerful interpretations by the Vienna Chamber Choir.
