5. Stabat Mater
The medieval verses of the Marian sequence Stabat mater seem like a symbol of mourning that has endured for ages. Once sung in unison and humbly, the Stabat mater has inspired generations of composers, including the Pole Karol Szymanowski in 1926, whose oratorio-like Stabat mater incorporated elements of Polish folk and church music. Geographically and thematically close to each other are Pēteris Vasks' political and personal mourning work of the Musica dolorosa , Arvo Pärt's meditation on the Shroud of Turin and Witold Lutosławski's short Lacrimosa from the image-rich death sequence of the Dies irae.

6. Written On Skin
Since its premiere in 2012, George Benjamin's opera has been a sensation, telling a story of passionate rebellion and painful self-discovery with extraordinary sounds and a tragic ending. Submission and control determine the life of Agnès, the wife of the much older Protector, until a young illustrator comes to their house to immortalize the life and work of the rich and powerful man. His ability to capture images and words on skin, as it were, awakens in Agnès a fascination for the symbols that are foreign to her, and she experiences what physical closeness and affection can trigger in her.

7. Shostakovich – A Portrait
Dmitri Shostakovich's music is rich in imagery, suggestive and expressive. It addresses the catastrophes of its time just as forcefully and ambiguously as it interprets the plot in a multi-dimensional way as original film music or as the famous "Waltz No. 2" is simply excellent dance music. It is important to discover the entire stylistic range that the celebrated and ostracized Soviet composer left behind for posterity as a symphonist and chamber musician - music that still accompanies many a soundtrack of well-known films today.
