Restless Love - Music of 19th Century Leipzig - Amarcord ensemble

Restless Love - Music of 19th Century Leipzig - Amarcord ensemble
ID: RKAP10108

Type: CD
Subkolektion: Ensemble

With its tenth CD, amarcord takes a stroll through the musical Leipzig of the nineteenth century. This anniversary release is in homage to the hometown of the five world-class vocalists who together form the vocal ensemble amarcord. They obviously feel very much at home in this repertoire and the listener is accorded many a musical discovery in Restless Love.


Mit seiner 10. CD-Produktion spazieren amarcord durch das musikalische Leipzig des 19. Jahrhunderts. Gleichzeitig ist diese Jubiläums-Veröffentlichung eine Reverenz an die Heimatstadt der fünf Weltklasse-Vokalisten. Spürbar wohl fühlen sie sich in diesem Repertoire, und dem Hörer wird in Rastlose Liebe so manche musikalische Entdeckung gewährt.

Neben weithin bekannten Liedern, denen sie mit ebenso frischem wie kundigem Gestaltungswillen neue Nuancen entlocken, finden sich acht der Titel überhaupt erstmalig auf CD, darunter auch ein Männerchor von Mendelssohn! Der Weihgesang zur Trauerfeier für Goethe wurde vom Leipziger Mendelssohn-Forscher Ralf Wehner wiederentdeckt. Doch neben der Musik des damaligen Gewandhauskapellmeisters Mendelssohn Bartholdy und seines Freundes Robert Schumann sind es gerade die uns heute kaum noch bekannten Komponisten, die diese CD so wertvoll machen. Das ist Musik von Adolf Eduard Marschner, einem Verwandten des verrückt genialischen Heinrich Marschner, der auch in der Musikstadt wirkte - oder musikalische Kleinode von Carl Steinacker, August Mühling und Carl Friedrich Zöllner, deren Werke längst von der Rezeptionsgeschichte vergessen sind. Zu Unrecht, denn die Liebes- und Schmerzenslieder, die amarcord in Rastlose Liebe zusammenbündelt, sind ohne Ausnahme musikalische Kostbarkeiten.

Album Francais- Vocal music from France - Poulenc, Rosini, Milhaud

Album Francais- Vocal music from France - Poulenc, Rosini, Milhaud
ID: RKAP10107
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Kolektion: Vocal CollectionSubkolektion: Ensemble

Nach drei überaus erfolgreichen CDs mit Vokalmusik aus Mittelalter und Renaissance widmet sich das Ensemble amarcord diesmal der wunderbaren französischen Vokalmusik des 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Einmal mehr demonstrieren die exquisiten Sänger aus Leipzig ihre unglaubliche Vielseitigkeit.
Beginnend in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts präsentieren amarcord die unbekannteren Facetten des Schaffens von Rossini und Saint-Saëns; die 20er Jahre mit ihrer überschäumenden Suche nach neuen Wegen sind vertreten durch Werke von Cras, Milhaud und dem jungen Poulenc, dessen hier eingesungenes Gesamtwerk für Männerstimmen uns bis in die Zeit nach dem II. Weltkrieg führt. Allen Sammelstücken dieses Albums gemeinsam ist die tiefe Verwurzelung im Französischen: in Traditionen, Dialekten, Tänzen, Begebenheiten, Empfindungen, dem „savoir vivre“… Kurzum: Dieses Album ist „très français“!
Der Zyklus des hierzulande noch relativ unbekannten Jean Cras steht im Zentrum und führt die „geistliche“ und „weltliche“ Ebene dieser Aufnahmen zur wundervollen Synthese: „eine sehr lebensbejahende Religiosität, die keinerlei Scheu vor der weltlichen Sphäre kennt“ (amarcord).

And so it goes
Soeben mit zwei "a-cappella-Oscars" (best classical album für die Weihnachts-CD „Nun komm der Heiden Heiland“ RK AP 10205 und best classical song für das Sanctus aus „Pierre de la Rue - Incessament“ RK AP 10105) in den USA ausgezeichnet, zeigt die Leipziger Gruppe auf diesem Re-Release, dass sie auch in der leichten Muse Spitzenklasse ist. Ob Billy Joel, Supertramp, Beatles, Queen, Frank Sinatra oder Beach Boys: 16 großartige Popsongs, spritzig und witzig arrangiert für fünf Männerstimmen und perfekt eingespielt.

Amarcord, 1992 von ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Leipziger Thomanerchores gegründet, zählt heute zu den führenden Vokalensembles weltweit. Im Zentrum der musikalischen Arbeit stehen Kompositionen aus Mittelalter und der Renaissance sowie die Zusammenarbeit mit zeitgenössischen Komponisten. Weiterhin gibt es im Repertoire des Ensembles eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Programme, die von Madrigalen über romantische Kompositionen bis zu A-Cappella-Arrangements bekannter Songs alle Facetten der Vokalmusik beinhalten. Das Vokalquintett ist Preisträger zahlreicher internationaler Wettbewerbe und gewann im Jahr 2002 den Deutschen Musikwettbewerb.
Amarcord zählt zu den herausragenden Repräsentanten der Musikstadt Leipzig, gastiert regelmäßig bei bedeutenden Musikfestivals und feierte auf zahlreichen Konzerttourneen durch ganz Europa, Nordamerika, Australien und Südostasien große Erfolge.

Kolektion: BaroqueSubkolektion: Voices

Key2Singing Foundation was established in May 2010 with the aim of promoting the art of singing in the broadest possible sense of the word.
In terms of singing, we want to organize larger projects. In addition, we seek cooperation between professionals and amateurs.
The educational aspect plays an important role. This is reflected for instance in workshops and master classes. The Foundation also conducts research; For example, in the field of the voice or music to the benefit of our projects. We also want to publish CDs and (sheet) music. All non-profit.

Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was born in Naples on the 26th of October 1685 as the sixth of ten children to parents Alessandro Scarlatti and Antonia Anzalone. Alessandro was already by then a famous composer. It is not clear who taught Domenico music. Perhaps it was Francesco Gasparini, Bernardo Pasquini or even Antonio Vivaldi during his time spent in Venice. Alessandro the father was for a time nominated as director of music at the basilica Santa Maggiore of Rome, and during this period Domenico worked there as his assistant between 1708 and 1709.

While in Rome, Domenico was appointed to the court of the Polish queen Maria Casimira de la Grange d’Anguien, who was at the time in exile there. He wrote a number of vocal works for her, including the opera Tolomeo e Alessandro ovvero La corona disprezzata (1711). In 1713 Domenico was appointed firstly as assistant director of music at the Cappella Giulia of St. Peters in Rome, and subsequently in 1714 as director of music. It is possible that he wrote his ten part Stabat Mater for the Cappella. Notably during the period in which Domenico was working and studying in Rome, he wrote many vocal and orchestral works for both secular and church clients. In addition Domenico seemed to have been a gifted harpsichordist.

It was in these his younger years that Domenico met and became friends with G. F. Handel who was spending a number of years in Italy. Cardinal Ottoboni encouraged the two musicians to enter into a musical duel with each other, the result of which that Scarlatti was declared the best harpsichordist and Handel the best organist. The two composers had great respect for each other.

Handel - Alexander's Feast - Ludus Baroque

Handel - Alexander's Feast -  Ludus Baroque
ID: DCD34094
CDs: 2
Type: CD
Kolektion: Baroque

Handel's musical illustration of Dryden's Alexander's Feast, first performed in 1736, was a critical and popular success. A day after the première, the London Daily Post reported 'Never was upon the like Occasion so numerous and splendid an Audience at any Theatre in London, there being at least 1300 Persons present'.

Twice a year some of the UK's finest baroque players and young vocal soloists come together in Edinburgh's Canongate Kirk to give sell-out concerts of the great works of Bach and Handel. The chorus, handpicked by Will Dawes, comprises a sensational selection of singers from Britain’s finest early music consorts, including the Monteverdi Choir, the Sixteen, Polyphony and the Gabrieli and King’s Consorts.

Ludus Baroque's appearances are unmissable events in Edinburgh's calendar. Now for the first time listeners from further afield can experience the vibrancy of their Festival-fuelled performances in this their debut recording. Alexander's Feast is the perfect showpiece for the vitality and abandon of Ludus Baroque and their rising-star soloists.

Birtwistle - Orpheus Elegies - Three Bach Arias

Birtwistle - Orpheus Elegies - Three Bach Arias
ID: CC2020
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Subkolektion: Voices

Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s compositional life from the mid 1970s to the 1980s was dominated by his opera The Mask of Orpheus, and the same period saw the origin of the Elegies, written for Melinda Maxwell and Helen Tunstall while they were working with the composer at the National Theatre.
‘They are like enchanted preludes…Enchantingly performed here’ The Sunday Times


The 24-page full colour CD booklet has a 6,000 word programme note in English including details of the Orpheus myth and Rilke's Sonnets to Orpheus, an interview with Sir Harrison Birtwistle, and a detailed track-by-track
guide, including translations. There are biographies of all the players and many photographs.


Introduction by Melinda Maxwell:

The myth of Orpheus and his music has occupied Sir Harrison Birtwistle (universally known as Harry) for most of his life, and the 26 Orpheus Elegies for oboe, harp and counter-tenor are a further comment in miniature on that myth. They are a re-telling of the story, and the mystery and power that surrounds an imagined music of Orpheus; music that represents a combination of the ethereal - Apollo - and the earthly - Dionysius; music that seduced creation itself with its power of expression.

The Sonnets to Orpheus by Rainer Maria Rilke, known to Harry for a long time, gradually became part of the composition process, and as the music was being written certain words and phrases from those sonnets seemed to clarify and strengthen the meaning of the music.

In time, Harry found that for some of the Elegies, a phrase was not enough. In Elegies 11, 13 and 14 the sonnets are set for voice in their entirety. The voice part is for counter -tenor and written for Andrew Watts. In Elegies 17, 20 and 26 portions of a sonnet are sung. For the remaining twenty Elegies, a phrase taken from a sonnet is written at the end of the instrumental music. For example, Elegy 12 (CD track 16) is fast, manic, rhythmic and repetitive, and the written words are the penultimate line of Sonnet number 5 from Rilke's first set: "the lyre's bars do not constrain his hands". As an aside these words add further meaning to the music, and the music evokes the atmosphere of the words.

Early on in the compositional process, Harry asked me about unusual sounds on the oboe, sounds encompassing harmonics and multiphonics (combinations of sounds that speak together forming chords that have unusual pitch formations and are mostly non-diatonic). I played some to him and wrote down those he liked. He particularly liked pitches that transformed and hung into multiphonics In Elegy 7 these sounds are used almost exclusively, to produce a music that is eerie and other-worldly, finishing with Rilke's words "[He emerged like] ore from the stone's silence". In the very first Elegy based around the note E, Birtwistle uses a double harmonic of an open fifth on E to splice, enrich and delve inside the sound, reaching further depths of expression. Rilke's words for this stark opening are "A tree has risen. Oh pure transcendence!".

Three of the Elegies use metronomes, and these give out a mechanical, inevitable, sense to the music. Elegy 25 uses two metronome pulses at slightly different speeds; Rilke's words are "Does time, the wrecker, really exist?".

The idea for the piece began in the late 1970s when Harry and I and the harpist Helen Tunstall were working at the National Theatre in London, and he expressed the wish to write a piece for oboe and harp. The first draft was written for the 2003 Cheltenham Festival, although not all the Elegies were completed and it was still a work in progress. Certain revisions and further additions ensued, and a longer version appeared in the 2004 Cheltenham Festival. Betty Freeman paid for the commission and Heinz and Ursula Holliger gave the world premičre with Andrew Watts at the Lucerne Festival in September 2004. The London premičre was given by myself, Helen and Andrew in October 2004 at the South Bank.

Throughout many rehearsals and subsequent performances in the UK and at the Holland (2006) and Bregenz (2007) Festivals, Harry offered further insights into our interpretations of phrase, nuance, pace and dynamics, and this recording is the culmination of this entire process. It is a piece full of contrasting voices, from music that is by turns warm, tender, almost wistful, and also bold, relentless, sometimes violent. Each Elegy speaks with its own voice, and such is the power of the composer's invention one feels that many more could follow.
