Kurzbeschreibung Cantiones sacrae is the long-awaited follow up to Magnificat's critically acclaimed 25th anniversary recording, Scattered Ashes. The Cantiones sacrae is an unusual work that stands quite apart from Schütz's other published sacred music in both scale and style. The collection comprises forty Latin motets for four voices, plus a figured bass for continuo accompaniment (realized on this recording by lute, violone and organ), which was added later by the composer. The perfectly crafted works are composed in a learned, contrapuntal style rich in dissonance and range of expression. Schütz cleverly mirrors the intensely intimate nature of the texts using a musical language that looks to inward expression rather than to external effect. Schütz takes every opportunity to exploit vocal timbre and technique in the service of word-painting, with the virtuosic vocal lines ranging from a conservative imitative style to the most avant-garde, chromatic style of the Italian madrigal. Magnificat's performance of the Opus 4 motets reveals Schütz to be a composer with an imagination of extraordinary variety. Rezension From 1625, the 40 Latin motets of Schütz's Cantiones Sacrae might seem like modest devotional pieces, devoid of Monteverdi's expressive melodic freedoms and affecting a rather learned contrapuntal style. Yet with their imaginative textures, arresting harmonies and often hair-raising challenges to the singers techniques, these pieces show a master at work. Cave's six singers and five continuo players give readings of piercing clarity and impassioned conviction. -- The Sunday Times P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Biographie der Mitwirkenden Magnificat is one of the world's premier vocal ensembles,internationally acclaimed for its sophisticated, historically -informed performance of Renaissance and Baroque choral masterpieces.
