Othmar Schoeck Trommelschläge op. 26 (1915) für gemischten Chor und grosses Orchester, for mixed choir and large orchestra, Konzertchor Harmonie Zürich, Tonhalle Zürich, 20. Mai 2009, Leitung: Peter Kennel
@akskeci452 yes, it was a strange moment! the fact is that the public is expecting a long piece (with this large orchestra, etc. etc.) and then "it" gets only 4.20 minutes of music... TROMMELSCHLÄGE is a work written in 1915 during the war... one of schoeck's best works (in my opinion). but it seems that even a public of 2009 is not ready for it...

That was a mighty long and awkward break between the final note, and the applause.
