The Arthur Rubinstein Philharmonic Chorus, from Łódź in central Poland, was founded in 1969 and now brings a less familiar piece of its rich repertoire to the Hungarian audience. There is hardly a Polish composer who has not made a mark in the genre of sacred music: this is true of the composer brothers Paweł and Marcin Łukaszewski, who both are in their fifties, as well as of two icons of modern music, Penderecki and Górecki. Finally, our orchestra's concert, conducted by Róbert Farkas, will feature a piece of Christian music, which was written by its composer in his mother tongue to the verses of the Bible: A German Requiem. We also know that Brahms preferred to use the adjective 'human' for his requiem, which this time features the talented young soprano singer Natália Tuznik and the German baritone Holger Falk, equally at home in the theatre and opera genres.
