In April 2023, the then 27-year-old Austrian conductor Patrick Hahn stepped in at short notice for a performance of Bruckner's Symphony No. 4: a spontaneous debut that earned him plenty of applause. This time his appearance is planned – and once again shows the conductor, who conducted the "Merry Widow" at Zurich Opera House and also likes to sit behind the piano for Georg Kreisler's bitter chansons, from a more serious side. The Stabat mater is Dvořák's first, best-known and most moving sacred composition; he wrote it deeply affected by the fate of his three young children, who died shortly after each other.
