Brahms and Feuerbach

in Bloc3

by Sílvia

Song of the week: Nänie (J. Brahms) - Rundfunkchor Berlin, Berliner Philharmoniker, Claudio Abbado (dir.)

Did you ever walk into a museum room and one piece stood out more than the others? Not a well-known one, nor one you were eager to see, but one you did not know and compelled you to go straight to the other end of the room. It happened to me at the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin, with a painting of a man in dark clothes standing on a light gray background and gazing to the left.
