three times holy

Bruckner was never nearer to the threefold exaltation of the heavenly hosts as in his Mass in E Minor. Palestrina, the Romantic and eternity merge in his marvellous contrapuntal lines, accompanied by the majestic sound of the wind instruments. In Bruckner Year 2024 Erwin Ortner and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir present their interpretation of this masterpiece, which they have refined over the years. But first they pay tribute to the intimacy of Franz Schubert with the German Mass, to which those in the audience who so wish may sing along.
