Matthias Pintscher Conducts the Dutch Premiere of shir IV at the Concertgebouw

Apr. 18, 2023

Matthias Pintscher conducted the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Netherlands Radio Choir in the Dutch premiere of shir IV for baritone, choir, and orchestra along with shir II from the same cycle, shirim, on April 14 at the Concertgebouw. On April 15, they performed shir II and shir IV at the Philharmonie in Essen.

Pintscher’s ecstatic shirim were inspired by what he deems to be "the most beautiful love poems ever written," the Biblical Song of Songs. Pintscher has added a new movement with choir to this cycle for baritone and orchestra for its Dutch premiere, featuring Dutch baritone Thomas Oliemans.
