In “heavenly beautiful tones,” the Kammerchor Saarbr\u00fccken, under the direction of Georg Gr\u00fcn, offers a performance of rarely heard a cappella Passion music by Wolfgang Rihm, Pawel Lukaszewski and Theo Brandm\u00fcller. The contemporary works are based on texts for both Passion and requiem music that draw the listener into diverse sonic worlds through their tonal colors and beauty. Like a modern stained glass window in a gothic church, Rihm’s Sieben Passionstexte (‘seven Passion Texts”) – rarities of the a cappella repertoire – skillfully spans a musical bridge from the present day to classical vocal polyphony. In contrast, Lukaszewski embraces the Holy Week in his expansive Responsoria Tenebrae through select biblical quotations. And in Brandm\u00fcller’s Le Paradis, the listener is able to appreciate how the Kammerchor Saarbr\u00fccken masters the demands of an extremely complex and demanding work. Completed by the choir’s director Georg Gr\u00fcn, this opus ultimum concludes the recording with the conciliatory encounter with death, so to speak, in “heavenly beautiful tones.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
