  • Psalmen & Friedensmusiken ends Heinrich Schutz series on a strong note

    Jul 22nd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, Classical music, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutz, Gerlinde Sämann, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Isabel Schicketanz, Maria Stosiek, Martin Schicketanz, Stefan Kunath, Tobias Mäthger

    The Carus traversal of Heinrich Schutz works ends with a collection of commissioned works. For the most part, the music on this 2 CD set marks important occasions in the Dresden court. Some were commissioned for birthdays, others for treaty signings, and so on. Schutz studied in Venice with Giovanni Gabrielli (and perhaps with Claudio […]

  • Giovanni Ristori Missa in C major to be taken seriously

    Jun 17th, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Andreas Post, Baroque music, Batzdorfer Hofkapelle, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, Cornelius Uhle, CPO, David Erler, Giovanni Alberto Ristori, Heidi Maria Taubert, Matthias Jung, Sächsisches Vocalensemble

    A commenter took me to task for my recent review of Jan Dismas Zelenka’s Missa Omnium Sanctorum. “The point of a mass setting is not to be “fun” and Zelenka would probably abhor that characterization of this work… Anyway, it was his friend [Giovanni Alberto] Ristori who was responsible for the “fun” masses in Dresden.” […]

  • Johann Friedrich Fasch Sacred Works on par with Bach’s

    Jun 3rd, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, CPO, David Erler, Hermann Max, Johann Friedrich Fasch, Matthias Vieweg, Rheinische Kantorei, Tobias Hunger, Veronika Winter

    This release features a thoughtful program of music by Johann Friedrich Fasch. Two major choral works are separated by an instrumental suite. The Mass in G major is fascinating. Fasch breaks the text down almost to its component phrases. He then seems to treat each phrase differently, moving seamlessly from choral contrapuntal passages to vocal […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Madrigale & Hochzeitsmusiken Bring Element of Fun

    Mar 21st, 2019 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, early music, Felix Schwandtke, George Poplutz, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Schicketanz, Tobias Mäthger

    Carus continues their traversal of Heinrich Schutz’s music with a collection of secular compositions. Schutz was primarily known for his sacred compositions, which influenced generations of Protestant composers (especially in Germany). This release features secular madrigals and wedding music that show a different aspect of Schutz. Schutz studied in Venice as a young man. The works in […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Symphoniae Sacrae II Beautifully Performed

    Jun 30th, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Carus, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutzl, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Jantschek, Tobias Mäthger

    This release features the second of three volumes of Schütz’s Symphoniae Sacrae. Schütz published his first volume in Venice in 1629. Volume II was completed 18 years later in Dresden, where Schütz was a major musical figure. Like the first volume, these works show some influence of Monteverdi and Gabrieli. But that influence seems much […]

  • Heinrich Schütz Symphoniae Sacrae I – Models of Clarity

    Apr 23rd, 2018 | By Ralph Graves
    Tags: Baroque music, Carus, CD Review, choral music, Classical music, David Erler, Dorothee Mields, Dresdner Kammerchor, Felix Schwandtke, Georg Poplutzl, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Heinrich Schütz, Isabel Jantschek, Tobias Mäthger

    Heinrich Schütz published three volumes of his Symphoniae Sacrae. Hans-Christoph Rademann and Carus continue their traversal of Schütz’s catalog with Symphoniae Sacre I. This 1629 collection of works reflects Schütz’s time in Venice. While there, he studied with Giovanni Gabrielli and Claudio Monteverdi. The influences of both are apparent in these settings of the Songs […]
