‘Sounds as if someone wiped their hand over the still-wet Tristan score’: Not all of Arnold Schoenberg's contemporaries liked his daring composition Transfigured Night in 1899. This also had to do with the source material: Richard Dehmel's poem is about an illegitimate child – and a forgiving husband. Scandal! The multi-award-winning Quatuor Agate, whose name is reminiscent of a childhood sweetheart of Johannes Brahms, has brought in reinforcements at the request of Christiane Karg. In the enchantingly beautiful atmosphere of the Romanesque cloister, Arnold Schoenberg's most popular work, a pinnacle of late Romantic development, will be performed in combination with Richard Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder, based on poems by Mathilde Wesendonck, in a version for voice and string sextet.
