A quote from Thomas Mann\u2019s Zauberberg stands in as motto for the present CD recorded by the women of the Kammerchor Bad Homburg: \u2018Die F\u00fclle des Wohllautes\u2019 (\u2018A Wealth of Pleasant Sound\u2019) is not only the disc\u2019s title, but at the same time describes the sonorous diversity of Romantic music for women\u2019s choir. Susanne Rohn, cantor at the Erl\u00f6serkirche in Bad Homburg, underlines the colourful stylistic flexibility of the roughly 30 female voices with this selection of works by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, Gustav Holst, and Johannes Brahms. The discs covers repertoire from the inward, plain performance of Rheinberger\u2019s sacred music to the dense, rich sounds of Brahms\u2019s secular Lieder, romances, and songs. Gustav Holst\u2019s Choral Hymns of the Rig Veda bridge the gap between Rheinsberger and Brahms. The women\u2019s choir performs in various settings, and joins forces with renowned female instrumental musiciansA cappella and with accompaniment: here with the organ, there with the harp, with organ and harp, and even with the charming combination of two horns and a harp\u2014as multifaceted as the tone colours on this CD may be, they all share one common feature: their performing forces, from the choir, its direction, the organist and harpist, to the horn players, are made up entirely of women. The result is a wealth of pleasant sound.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
