It’ll be a historic day for Lisinski, Zagreb and Croatia. Certainly one of the greatest ventures in the history of the Croatian music scene: the first Croatian performance of the Songs of Gurre composed by Arnold Schönberg. The inspiration for this amazing, one hundred minutes long late-romantic style masterpiece, whose performance requires more than 350 instrumentalists and singers distributed in four male and a mixed choir, comes from the poems of the Danish writer Peter Jacobsen telling us the story about King Valdemar, Ruler of the Castle of Gurre and his adventures.
The premiere which took place in 1913 in front of the choosy Viennese audience was one of the greatest triumphs in the composer’s career. Nature’s beauties and passionate tempests of love and hate are presented on giant tonal canvases.
It will be one of the biggest undertakings of maestro Nikša Bareza.
 
“Guerre-Lieder is architecture in tone on a vast scale.”
Leopold Stokowski
 
“It is not helped by any intellectual analysis. In many ways, this is not an intellectual piece at all. It's a sybaritic experience. You just have to sit back and love it.”
Sir Simon Rattle
