Description
Two opulent choral masterpieces by Richard Strauss frame an eclectic programme from one of Europe's most highly acclaimed choirs.
The name of the young Slovenian composer Matej Kastelic may still be relatively little known, but the title track 'Credo / I believe' is simply extraordinary and demands to be heard.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
"This CD is a remarkable testament to the vocal quality and dexterity of the State Choir Latvija. […] A beautifully recorded disc" – Choir & Organ (4 STARS)
"The Latvians are ravishing in Strauss's formidable Deutsche Motette, which is essentially a concerto for choir, the composer treating the ensemble in the same way as a vast orchestra...the impressively vibrant choral sound and emotional ebb and flow ensure this recording encourages repeated listening." – BBC Music Magazine (4 STARS)
"Under the guidance of Maris Sirmais the members of State Choir LATVIJA offer singing of formidable accomplishment. Everything on their programme requires collective virtuosity and every challenge is surmounted by this fine ensemble." – MusicWeb International
GABRIEL JACKSON (b1962)
A ship with unfurled sales & other choral works (CDA67976)
"Unquestionably the State Choir Latvia is a magnificent body of singers. They encompass a vast dynamic range and deliver words and music with impeccable precision and clarity."
- Gramophone Magazine
