About this product
In 2010 UNESCO declared the Song of the Sibyl part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, as one of the most fascinating documents of Medieval European culture. A prophetess of Apollo, foreteller of misfortunes and calamities, the Sibyl entered the Christian world as the earliest announcer of Christ's coming and of his return on Doomsday. The text was sung over a suggestive melody that has survived to our day across seventeen centuries, handed down through various manuscripts and languages. This features the Catalan version of the Song performed in all it's expressive intensity by the poignant interpretation of the native language singer Eugenia Amisano, accompanied by the instrumentalists and voices of the Musicaround Ensemble. The programme also includes a selection of rare pieces related by content, in a journey that reveals how the Sibyl's prophecy sounds at this particular time in history, and proving surprisingly topical. The transcriber, orchestrator and conductor is Vera Marenco who, working on the variety of instrumental and vocal forces and with a particular care for the choral parts, balances the need for a neat, contemporary reading with the popular origin of the rite.

Michael Jary's InchIch weiß, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh'nInch (InchI know there will be a miracle one dayInch) and InchDavon geht die Welt nicht unterInch (InchThe World Won't End Because of ThisInch), Theo Mackeben's InchDu hast Glück bei den Frau'n, Bel Ami!Inch (InchYou're lucky with the ladies, Bel Ami!Inch), Lothar Brühne's InchIch brech' die Herzen der stolzesten Frau'nInch (InchI break the hearts of the proudest womenInch), and Friedrich Schröder's InchIch tanze mit dir in den Himmel hineinInch (InchI'll dance to heaven with youInch) are just some of the sound film hits that are still popular today and that, if not already commissioned, were later perfidiously misused by the National Socialists for propaganda purposes. Terms such as Inchpropaganda filmInch or Inchmorale-boosting filmInch accompany the program presented on this album as the ugly downside of what were sometimes brilliant musical creations. The Münchner Rundfunkorchester, founded in 1952, has played individual titles from these films again and again in very different scorings and arrangements over the course of it's 70-year history. This was produced as a studio recording in October 2021, and all the sound film hits were played in their purely orchestral form - thus exposing the core of the individual compositions while allowing the necessary historical distance.
