Description
Ernst Helmuth Flammer's oratorio "Der Turmbau zu Babel" was commissioned for the 25th anniversary of the Hanover New Music Days in 1983. The premiere took place under the direction of Klaus Bernbacher together with excellent musicians like Catherine Gayer (soprano), Günter Binge (baritone), Theophil Maier (speaker), the Chor des Norddeutschen Rundfunks and the Nordwestdeutschen Philharmonie at the Sendesaal des NDR Hannover on 29 January 1983.
"The oratorio is dedicated to all those who were forced to give up their lives in the struggle for freedom, justice and dignified coexistence; all the undaunted who accept great personal sacrifices in following an unswerving moral path; for Klaus Bernbacher" (Ernst Helmuth Flammer)
