Wolfgang Helbich - German Requiem [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/25/2003

You can be pleased to hear an interpretation which sets standards with it's ideal transparency, it's sensuality and it's emotionally rich intensity. Here there are no mannerisms to bother us, no rhetorical gimmicks or vocal inadequacies. The almost thirty singers always retain their vocal serenity, whether in the double-choral furore of Singet dem HerrnInch or in the delicacy of the InchFurchte dich nichtInch (Be not Afraid) motet. Everything sounds relaxed but never trivial, with the sound mix perfectly balanced and performed with verbal discipline. If you do not yet have this Bach treasure in your collection, look no further than here.Inch (klassik heute)verve, unusually articulate expressive gestures that arise from the texts, exceptional ensemble precision, illuminating inner detail, and an overall atmosphere that conveys a sense of occasion and gives the distinct feeling that these singers both understand and love this music.
