C. P. E. Bach: Concerti per il Cembalo

“Between the energetic tutti and the soft passages an exciting range is revealed without having to sacrifice a cultivated sound and tonal beauty. Rather, the string ensemble is unified, without sounding stiff, and in the slow movements … it is capable of playing in soft, if restrained song.”

The Seven Last Words of Our Saviour on the Cross : Hob. XX:2, 1796

Magnificat, Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes

Noble Christmas music by a son of Bach: these world-premiere recordings of works by C. P. E. Bach represent two different periods of his career. Throughout his whole life C. P. E. Bach regarded the 1749 Leipzig early version of his Magnificat as one of his most important works. It contains all the elements which aesthetics of the time demanded of a large-sclae sacred composition: nobility, dignity, polyphonic and concertante choruses, deeply-felt arias, and a great concluding double fugue. The festive music Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes was written during Bach’s later years as director of music in Hamburg. The Basler Madrigalisten, L’arpa festante and well-known soloists,under the direction of Fritz Näf, give a commanding and enthralling interpretation of these works by C. P. E. Bach.

Reger-Studien 2 : Neue Aspekte der Regerforschung

A publication of the Max Reger Institute. Since the study of Reger is still in its infancy, there is much new territory to discover in Reger-Studien 2 Neue Aspekte der Regerforschung. Biographical and analytic contributions to various aspects of his works are mixed with a programmatic view of future research, which is in part still incomplete. "The volume, edited by Susanne Shigihara … presents a highly stimulating cross-section, which is sufficient for studies that are biographical to analytical, historical-philosophical to iconographical." [Klaus Ebbeke in the Neue Zeitschrift für Musik, November 1987]

Lukaspassion & Die Sieben Worte : Complete recordings, Vol 6

A seventeenth century Passion “Radio Drama,” the sixth installment of the recording of Schütz’s complete works by the Dresdner Kammerchor and Hans-Christoph Rademann presents three powerful works for Passion. The St. Luke Passion SWV 480 unfolds a panorama inviting us to experience an intense, inward-looking pictorial reflection on Jesus’s Passion. The words of Luke the Evangelist are sung without accompaniment, the musical means skillfully reduced to a minimum. This narrative is interrupted by the choruses, creating dynamic emotional scenarios, clamoring, pleading, querying and raging: in this way, Schütz creates a form of Passion, a “radio drama” with a deeply movingintensification of events. The well-known “Sieben Worte Jesu am Kreuz” [The Seven Last Words of Jesus on the Cross] SWV 478 is the first contribution of the viola da gamba player Hille Perl and her ensemble "The Sirius Viols" to the complete Schütz recording. The sophisticated structure of the work, the intense sensuality of the individual sections and the beauty of the musical message make the “Seven Last Words” a masterpiece. The third work on this CD, “Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott” [Have Mercy on me, O Lord God] SWV 447 for solo soprano accompanied by a consort of viols a composition for the Good Friday service represents a charming and appropriate complement to the “Seven Last Words”.
