Claudia Barainsky, Gerhild Romberger, Ray M. Wade & Peter Lika Daniel Borowski Chorus Musicians Köln & Das Neue Orchester, Christoph Speering This disc is a reconstruction of the complete concert programme from 7th May 1824, held at Vienna’s Court Theatre, where Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 was first performed. Christoph Spering wants the listener to appreciate the work in its original and intellectual context. The concert includes the lesser-known overture Die Weihe des Hauses (The Consecration of the House) and also the Kyrie, Credo and Agnus Dei from the Missa Solemnis, here presented as ‘Drei Hymnen’ to surmount the problem of liturgical music being censored for performace in a theatre. “Christoph Spering and his period-instrument band tear into the music like a pack of demons, giving it exactly the kind of rhythmic surge it demands. These stunning performances, magnificently recorded, belong in every serious collection, and I can only hope that more is on the way courtesy of Mr. Spering [and] Das Neue Orchester” Classics Today on a previous release |
