4.0 out of 5 stars 4 post-Bach late German Baroque vocal works, August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Miserere - Sacred Choral Pieces of the Dresden Baroque (Zelenka · Hasse · Heinichen · Homilius) /Rheinische Kantorei · Das Kleine Konzert · Max (Audio CD)

This is a disc of German early music specialist Hermann Max conducting with Hungarian soprano Maria Zadori among the soloists. As with many of Max's discs on Capriccio and CPO it is a revival of some of the rarely heard late baroque vocal works that form the background to Bach and Telemann.

The disc starts with two settings of Psalm 51, Misere in C, the first by the Czech composer Zelenka, the second by the Berlin opera composer Adolf Hasse. This is followed by Dresden composer Heinichen's Magnificat in A, and concluded by German Cantata in 5 movements by the rarely heard Homilius. (The five movements are Verwundrung, Mitleid.. Wie Ist Mir.. Verheertes Land, In Deinen Trummern.. O Sicherer Mensch, Was Schlafest Du.. Ei Nun, Herre Jesu, Schicke Unsre Herzen Zu).
