Works by Giuseppe Verdi, Anton Bruckner, and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger
Basler Madrigalisten | Raphael Immoos, Musical Director
The triumvirate of Giuseppe Verdi, Anton Bruckner, and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger revitalized monumental sacred music in the late 19th century through masterful choral symphonies. Their polyphonic richness and affinity for multi-choir compositions harken back to Renaissance masters such as Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi, and Johann Sebastian Bach. In the grand cathedrals of the time, this majestic soundscape experienced a final, resplendent flourish—a music whose emotional depth and intricate polyphony continue to resonate to this day.
