The painting was also inspired by Henze's work. Henze was also inspired by the painting, and in 1967 he wrote a large-scale oratorio for two soloists, a narrator, a large chorus, and an orchestra, using a libretto by Ernst Schnabel. However, when he attempted to premiere the work in Hamburg the following year, the performance was cancelled due to a brawl caused by people who were opposed to the radical direction of the work. This album contains a live concert performance of the work on the 50th anniversary of its composition, featuring two soloists, Wegener and Henschel, as well as the narrator, Bechtloff, who directed \"The Ring\" at the Vienna State Opera and the Da Ponte trilogy at the Salzburg Festival, and Arnold Schoenberg, who directed \"The Ring\" at the Vienna State Opera. The Vienna Boys' Choir and Arnold Schoenberg Choir are the perfect lineup for this dramatic performance under the baton of Meister.
