The late Renaissance composer, Jacobus Gallus (1550-1591), also known as Jacob Händl, was born in what is now Slovenia and traveled throughout the Bohemian lands of the Holy Roman Empire. His prolific output included more than 500 works, both sacred and secular. Gallus’ five-voice motet, Mirabile mysterium, was first printed in 1586. The text describes a mystical alchemy which is expressed in the motet’s wild dissonances and wandering chromaticism. It is “a ...

[…] the Austrian Romantic poet Nikolaus Lenau (1802-1850), written during the final six years of his life, which were spent in an asylum. That Lenau song cycle provided Holliger with the framework for the opera Lunea, subtitled “Lenau scenes in 23 leaves from a life”, which received its premiere at the Zurich Opera in 2018 with Gerhaher as Lenau; the superb ECM recording, betraying no trace of audience noise, is taken from that run of performances.

Daniel Hyde and the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, recording In the Bleak Midwinter in the chapel in December 2020 This year's Christmas round-up has something of an edge to it, many of the discs were recorded under the challenge of social distancing and the effect of the pandemic on child choristers who will have been deprived of the experience of singing in public. Some choirs have clearly made good use of the time offered, whilst others such as King's College, Cambridge took advantage of the unusual circumstances to record the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols in a chapel empty of audience.There is also a sense of looking back, the King's Singers return to their roots, whilst on Alto we can hear the Deller Consort in Medieval carols recorded in the 1950s and 1960s and the St Florian's Boy's Choir celebrates its 950th birthday with archive recordings. It is […]
