| Announcement: Brahms Shicksalslied "Song of Destiny", op. 54 |

In the summer of 1868 Brahms was taking a bit of a break. His Requiem was a smashing success the previous year (after a 10 year gestation period), and he decided to spend some time with some friends in Oldenburg. One afternoon he witn with those frineds to the naval port of Wilhelmshafen. There he told Albert Dietrich (his host for the visit), that he had read from the collection of Holderlin and was taken by the poet's Hyperion Shicksalslied.

I've just been watching the finale of the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, this year won by the Russian soprano Ekaterina Shcherbachenko.
Personally I was routing for the countertenor Yuriy Mynenko, who sung an aria from Giulio Cesare in the semi-final and easily got the biggest audience cheer in the finale with the killer aria from Act 3 of Serse 'Crude furie degl' orridi abissi', but perhaps countertenors are still not quite so accepted by the operatic great and good!
