Ein feste Burg. Vokal- und Instrumentalmusik : Speck

“... a really fine ensemble, and it’s well-led by Holger Speck, who keeps tempos flowing smoothly and articulation clear and crisp. All of the solo singers are expert, the choir is marvelous ... What else needs to be said, except ‘More Telemann!’” Classic Today [10/10]

Weihnachten an der Dresdner Frauenkirche. Homilius : Kantaten II Kopp

„... the program four church cantatas for Advent, Christmas, and New Year’s Day leaves nothing to be desired from a musical standpoint. These compact, expertly written works are not only functional [their primary purpose], but are enormously, immediately appealing [not a bad thing for church service music!], with grand, lively opening choruses, vibrant orchestral accompaniments, and strong, perfectly singable arias where even the brief formulaic stuff sounds absolutely right and natural. ... Highly recommended.“ Classics Today, 10/10

Lux aeterna ... for 10-16 parts. : Werke von Ligeti, Scarlatti, Boyd und Mahler

A selection of works which shows the courage to try the unusual: Ligeti’s Lux aeterna and Boyd’s As I crossed a bridge of dreams share a flowing of harmonic fields into one another as if in slow motion. On the other hand, Ligeti’s use of the technique of dividing an apparently endless flow of sound, with its related intervallic structures, into comprehensible periods, shows similarities to Scarlattis method of employing motives whose intervallic structure are interrelated. For Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen Gottwald transferred Ligeti’s technique of vocal writing to his arrangement of the Mahler Lied.

Open the Gates. Choral Repertoire from Israel : Carmina Mundi

10 original compositions for female choir. Unlike many countries in which music was passed on by word of mouth over generations, Israel possesses no such tradition. Nevertheless the various ethnic groups which have emigrated to Israel have taken their musical traditions there with them. "Open the Gates" offers - along with two pieces from Morocco and the Yemen - arrangements of classical Israeli songs for female choir.

Sämtliche Klavierwerke [Gesamteinspielung]

Josef Gabriel Rheinberger's indisputable importance as a composer of sacred and secular choral music as well as organ music has for the most part obscured the remaining works of his creative output. At the same time there are a great many musical treasures among his piano music for two and four hands just waiting to be discovered. In this 10-CD collection the pianist Jürg Hanselmann presents the complete piano works of Rheinberger which have been assigned opus numbers. For piano four hand works he is aided by his spouse, Sandra Hanselmann-Kästli.

Rheinberger: Ave Maria [Musica Sacra X]

Today Rheinberger is known primarily as a composer of motets for several voices and for masses for mixed choir. On the other hand, the fact that he also composed a whole series of solo works or choral works for women's voices is today much less well known, although he wrote such works throughout his entire creative life and a good number of these are among his most popular and commercially successful compositions. Volume 10 of the Rheinberger CD series is dedicated to this interesting, long neglected genre in Rheinberger's sacred oeuvre.

Distler: Four motets for Advent and Christmas

Like Hugo Distler's Weihnachtsgeschichte op. 10, in a deeply heartfelt style, his Christmas motets, written at various times in his life, sound as emphatically vivid in their expression. With madrigalian energy he evokes images of light, imbued with a powerful sense of hope. In the process he uses ancient mystical and Lutheran texts and melodies, and shapes the traditions in his own style. This edition contains new and alternative texts to extend the range of uses. For example, the jewel among Distler's song-motets Die Sonne sinkt von hinnen with its new text can now be used during Advent.

Distler: The Christmas Story

The Story of Christmas op. 10 was one of the most popular religious works of the young Hugo Distler, and with its moving tenderness it is one of the most attractive oratorios which can be performed by any and all a cappella ensembles during Advent or Christmastime. The complete story is told by a narrator, which Hugo Distler employed after the manner of an early baroque model of a passion, is performed by an a cappella choral ensemble. On the present recording, the Athesinus Ensemble Berlin, which also provided the soloists in the oratorio, performed with convincing expressivity, warmth, flawless intonation and an extreme vocal flexibility.
