Igor Stravinsky: A Symphony of Psalms

Devoted exclusively to works by Igor Stravinsky, this CD contains both symphonic choral works and a cappella music by the great Russian composer. For the Symphonie de Psaumes (Psalmensinfonie, Symphony of Psalms), the Windsbacher Knabenchor (Windsbach Boys Choir) is joined by the renowned Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Stravinsky intended this work to be sung by a boys’ choir and the crystal clear voices of the boys of the Windsbacher Knabenchor (Windsbach Boys Choir) make this an auditory experience of the first order. In the “Cantata”, the Deutschen Kammer-Virtuosen Berlin in their chamber-music setting harmonize perfectly with the precision-led voices of the Windsbacher singers.
