Krenek’s life and work were deeply marked by the traumatic impact of his exile to the USA at the time of the Anchluss. This fundamentally sceptical artist holds up a brutally frank mirror to the society of his day. After a critically acclaimed first disc devoted to his Lamentations of Jeremiah (“The RIAS Kammerchor give a performance of quite breathtaking, blended virtuosity.” – THE MUSICAL TIMES), the RIAS Kammerchor now returns to one of its favourite composers.
