VENEZIA, featuring the NDR Choir and NDR Brass, begins and ends with the legendary period of Venetian music represented by Claudio Monteverdi and Giovanni Gabrieli. The erotic and sometimes dark fascination that Venice exerted on 19th-century artists is captured in works by Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner, transformed by Clytus Gottwald into the sound spectrum of an extended polyphonic choir.
