Julian Podger (Evangelist) & Jakob Bloch Jespersen (Jesus) Ars Nova Copenhagen, Paul Hillier The Matthäus-passion marks the conclusion of Dacapo’s critically acclaimed Schütz series with Ars Nova Copenhagen and Paul Hillier. Ars Nova were 2010 GRAMMY-WINNERS in the Best Small Ensemble Performance. Category “The heaviest responsibility rests with the Evangelist, superbly done by Podger. Though he rises to moments of great dramatic oratory in places...most of his account is delivered in measured tone and pace...Ars Nova Copenhagen's impeccable intonation creates a vibrant sonority at moments of cadential repose. Jespersen's Christus is deeply felt” BBC Music Magazine, July 2011 **** “Ars Nova Copenhagen and Paul Hillier make a good case here for what it, on the surface, pretty dry music. Aside from the very well-handled choral interjections (you wait for them, and boy, how they move you when they arrive!) the conductor initiates a steady build up of tension over this hour-long musical journey.” Classic FM Magazine, June 2011 *** “Julian Podger matches the sparseness of Schutz's plainsong-like lines...with suitably restrained vocal production...What keeps the attention here is the way that all the solo singers - including those drawn from choir for the minor roles - inject just enough urgency and drama into their singing for us to feel the power of the unfolding story, but not so much as to disturb the work's underlying serenity and understatement...A hair-shirt Easter treat.” International Record Review, April 2011 “So plain is the story-telling that the Evangelist (the excellent Julian Podger) sings his familiar narration, deftly inflected, unaccompanied throughout; the touches of expressiveness from the choral interjections are all the more powerful, and the theological understanding is profound.” The Observer, 17th April 2011 | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.

Chamber Choir of Europe, Choir of Clare College, Cambridge, Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Stuttgart Chamber Chorus, Freiburger Vokalensemble / L'Arpa, Festante München & Capella Augustana, Frieder Bernius, Timothy Brown, Stephen Cleobury & Nicol Matt 15 CD + CD ROM. A stunning 15 CD collection of some of the greatest sacred music ever written. From the great Lamentations of Byrd, Tallis and Palestrina, the listener is taken on a remarkable spiritual journey through Bach’s great St Matthew Passion, Purcell’s moving and bleak funeral music for Queen Mary, and Handel radiant Messiah. Pergolesi’s masterful setting of the Stabat Mater and Telemann’s Passions-Oratorium are also to be found here, along with Haydn’s Stabat Mater and his dark and intense masterpiece Die sieben letzen Worte, or The Seven Last Words of our Saviour from the Cross. Finally, Allegri’s hauntingly beautiful Miserere opens this collection – a work that was copied from memory after one hearing by the child Mozart. Prior to that moment the work had only been heard in the Vatican. Superb value with a CD-ROM containing a full tracklist, sung texts and translations and booklet notes. First rate performances from leading choirs including Kings College and Clare College, Cambridge, and the Stuttgart Chamber Chorus. All recordings are recent. | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |
