The place: the main camp VIII A near Görlitz. The time: the Second World War. Instruments available: clarinet, piano, violin and cello. Not ideal conditions for musical world literature, but Olivier Messiaen managed to do just that at the turn of the year 1940/41 while he was a German prisoner of war. His quartet is as much an end-time work that explores the depths of human existence as it is a vision of the future that hears the divine in birdsong. 80 years after the liberation of the Buchenwald and Mittelbau-Dora concentration camps, Messiaen's music is placed alongside selected texts.

Düsseldorf, autumn 1853: Music director Robert Schumann had just completed a violin concerto for the young Joseph Joachim when the next child prodigy came knocking at his door: Johannes Brahms. Soulful days full of music followed – until Schumann was committed to a sanatorium in early 1854 after a suicide attempt. The artistic friendship between Joachim and Brahms endured a lifetime, despite occasional bouts of trouble.
