The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - Holten / Barber / Brahms / Mahler / Bruckner / Nørgård / Schönberg - Chorus sine nomine / Johannes Hiemetsberger Opposites attract one another - and even more: they enrich one another. Against this background, the works of this recording of a cappella works by Brahms ('Three Songs' op. 42), Mahler ('Die zwei blauen Augen', arranged by Clytus Gottwald), Bruckner (excerpt from Symphony No. 7, arranged by Florian Maierl), Schönberg ('Peace on Earth'), Samuel Barber ('Agnus Dei' following his Adagio for Strings), Bo Holten ('Rain and Rush and Rosy Bush') and Per Nørgård ('Wiigen-Lied') are also highlights of human existence, tell of life with all its bright and dark sides and of the yearning for what we believe we know in heaven
