Description
This new release presents the liturgical choral works of Jozef Zeidler. Ziedler is often overlooked in today's musical landscape and is not well-known by many today, but is one of the the most interesting composers associated with Polish Classicism.
Through the late 18th century, Zeidler was associated with Swieta Gora in Greater Poland, where a church ensemble operated in the monastery of Oratorian Fathers. The composer provided the ensemble with his religious and liturgical compositions. This was by no means a provincial creation – Zeidler was inspired, among others, by Mozart's operas, which testifies to his open and modern approach to the compositional art.
This album presents three of these liturgical compositions: Veni Creator for soprano, choir and orchestra (including 2 flutes, 2 trumpets, strings, organ), an excerpt from Offertorium Missae – alto aria Omni die dic Marie accompanied by flute, strings and organ and an extremely interesting arrangement of The Litany of Loreto for a four-voice vocal ensemble accompanied by 2 flutes, 2 horns, strings and organ. Zeidler's com-positions are performed here by the Silesian Chamber Orchestra and the Katowice City Singers' Ensemble Camerata Silesia. The ensemble is led by conductor Michal Klauza.
Polish conductor Michal Klauza is Artistic Director of the Polish Radio Orchestra in Warsaw and Music Director of the Podlasie Opera and Philharmonic in Bialystok. From 2005 to 2008 he was Associate Conductor for Welsh National Opera, with whom he conducted many operas and concerts. He has been Associate Conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra since 2009, and Artistic Director of the Polish Radio Orchestra since 2015.
"tidy, stylish music-making from all concerned that goes a long way to revealing the beauties of this music. The choir offers a well-blended sound." – Choir & Organ (4 STARS)
