Firma Melodiya presents a recording of St Matthew Passion (2006), one of the most popular works of Russian academic music of the 21st century composed by Metropolitan Hilarion. In due course, this work will probably take a special place in the history of domestic music, but it has already been a source of inspiration for The Conductor (2012), a motion picture by Pavel Lungin, and performed over fifty times around the world.
Its composer Metropolitan Hilarion (Grigory Alfeyev) is a pries of the Russian Orthodox Church, a theologian and public figure, an author of fundamental studies on religious issues, and a Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Oxford. In 1984 to 1987 he studied at the composition department of the Moscow Conservatory under professor Alexei Nikolayev. Later he left music for an ecclesiastical career, but subsequently returned to composing.
The uniqueness of St Matthew Passion lies in the synthesis of musical traditions of West European baroque where the musical genre of passion sprang from, Orthodox church signing and Russian symphonic music of the 19th and 20th centuries. St Matthew Passion is intended for concert performance, but in the opinion of the musicologist and chancellor of the Moscow Conservatory Alexander Sokolov "this music leads a man to God through knowledge of God, to spiritual through soulful".
The featured recording was made in 2010 by the first performers of the Passion who are the Moscow Synodal Choir led by Alexei Puzakov and the Tchaikovsky Symphony Orchestra conducted by Vladimir Fedoseyev with the participation of young vocalists and prize-winners of international competitions Naira Asatrian, Olessya Petrova, Maxim Paster and Dmitri Beloselsky. |

Tallis's monumental Spem in alium is one of the greatest glories of Western polyphony, and its pre-echoes and aftershocks reverberate through all the other pieces on this disc. The massed voices of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain shed dazzling light on their multifaceted programme of polychoral jewels from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, interspersed with virtuoso tributes from three leading contemporary composers including Gabriel Jackson's own 40-part motet.

„INCESSAMENT“ - hinter diesem geheimnisvollen Titel verbirgt sich ein spannendes CD-Programm, in dessen Zentrum die Weltersteinspielung der „Missa Incessament“ von Pierre de la Rue (c. 1452-1518) steht. Ergänzt wird diese Messe durch Gregorianik aus dem Moosburger Graduale.
Den Rahmen des Programms bilden zwei Kompositionen de la Rues, die mit der Messe in engem Zusammenhang stehen: sein französisches Lied „Incessament“, auf dessen Grundlage er seine Missa Incessament komponierte, und dessen Umwandlung in eine lateinische Motette für das protestantische Deutschland: „Sic deus dilexit“. Dieses Programm wurde konzipiert unter Mitarbeit des führenden de la Rue-Forschers J. Evan Kreider und des Gregorianik-Experten Godehard Joppich. Aufgenommen wurde diese CD in der wunderbaren Basilika des Benediktinerklosters Wechselburg/Mitteldeutschland, die der Musik die passende Aura verleiht.
amarcord, 1992 von ehemaligen Mitgliedern des Leipziger Thomanerchores gegründet, zählt inzwischen zu den herausragenden Repräsentanten der Musikstadt Leipzig und weltweit zu den führenden Vokalensembles. |

Subcollection: ChoralVokalmusik zu Advent und Weihnacht von Gregorianik bis Gospel, von Mitteldeutschland bis Trindad, von Dufay bis Mauersberger
Das Weihnachtsfest wird seit vielen Jahrhunderten in allen Teilen der Erde begangen und diese Tradition hat die vielleicht schönsten und beständigsten Volkslieder hervorgebracht. So unterschiedlich wie die Kulturen ist auch diese CD. Da geht es vom bekannten "Es ist ein Ros entsprungen" über Sizilien ("O sanctissima" - "O du fröhliche") nach Trinidad und von der Gregorianik über die Renaissance bis zur Weihnachtsmotette vom Thomaskantor Erhard Mauersberger (1903-1982). "In adventu Domini" enthält Advents- und Weihnachtssätze aus über einem halben Jahrtausend, darunter echte Perlen, die es nicht nur allein dadurch sind, dass sie auf keiner anderen Weihnachts-CD zu finden sind. Und natürlich begeistert das Vokalensemble amarcord aus Leipzig wieder mit seinem unvergleichlichen Sound! |

Subcollection: ChoirThe monastic choir of the Valaam Stavropegic monastery of the Transfiguration of the Saviour - Precentor Hierodeacon German (Ryabtsev)
«Thy Resurrection, O Christ, the angels sing in the heavens» Paschal Matins begin with this stanza, which opens the CD containing the Paschal hymns. These hymns are imbued with joy over Risen Christ and the triumph of life over death. The Passover (from the Jewish word meaning «transition») from death to immortality, from corruption to eternal life is the main theme of Paschal canon and other hymns of this greatest Christian feast. Its particular importance and solemnity are accentuated by the repetition of the famous Paschal troparion «Christ is risen from the dead!» |
