Kammerchor der Hochschule fur Musik - Motets from Heinrich Schutz to Fritz Werner - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Pierre Henry, a supreme innovator in the field of sound aesthetics, opened the gates to many other musical universes through the applications of his technological research. Fascinated by Beethoven from an early age, he composed a InchTenth SymphonyInch InchIt's not the one Beethoven made sketches for,Inch he said. InchNor is it a synthesis of the nine. It is essentially a combinatorial work. It's also a tribute to the man who hoped to exceed the limits of the orchestra. Perhaps a way of painting my portrait (our portrait) through this music and the influence it has had on mine. It is a dreamlike, logical and respectful trajectory through what these symphonies contain and suggest. The work deliberately uses as Inchraw materialInch only notes, groups or motifs from the nine symphonies.Inch There are three electroacoustic versions, but it is the unpublished symphonic version that is presented here. It was premiered in November 2019 at the Cite de la Musique in the Philharmonie de Paris, by three orchestras, two choirs, and three conductors the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre du Conservatoire de Paris, the Choeur de Radio France and Le Jeune Choer de Paris under the direction of Pascal Rophe, Bruno Mantovani and Marzena Diakun.

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. These are uncompromisingly exciting performances that show, given a virtuoso ensemble and some of the most challenging music ever written for voices, just how captivating choral music can be.Inch (classics today)
