Melodic, warm and honest this is music that is happy to wear its heart on its sleeve.

La Capella Ducale, Musica Fiata & Roland Wilson – Heinrich Schütz: Schwanengesang (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:24:11 minutes | 1,03 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © CPO
Heinrich Schütz (1585-1672) had already completed his eightieth year when he set the 119th Psalm to music with almost youthful freshness. The enormous text poem apparently offered him a musical challenge of the highest caliber and, in terms of content, the opportunity to write down his unshakable faith in a powerful confession. He supplemented this so-called swan song with his creative examination of Psalm 100 and the German Magnificat – two hymns of praise to the greatness of the Lord in whose hand he felt secure.

Schuch: “Indeed, it’s quite exciting to look at what was going on exactly 100 years ago – perhaps because 1923 doesn’t seem all that distant to us. Certain events and circumstances seem to mirror one another a century apart. From a musical point of view, Erwin Schulhoff’s piano concerto is a truly interesting work that has not attained the recognition it deserves…

Christopher Glynn continues his series “Schubert in English” and, together with baritone Roderick Williams and soprano Rowan Pierce, sings songs about loneliness and companionship, nature and the seasons, faith and doubt, wandering and homecoming, caution and comfort – all in new English versions by Jeremy Sams.
“No songwriter has more to say to us than Schubert. I have commissioned these new translations in the hope of making his songs accessible to a wider audience and also to offer a new perspective to those who know them well.
“A good translation is an act of homage – a retelling, not a substitute – and, like the film adaptation of a classic novel, can be a stepping stone to the original or can also be enjoyed on its own.
“We hope that listeners will enjoy these new versions, in which Jeremy Sams restores the immediacy of Schubert’s narrative for a modern English-speaking audience.” (Christopher Glynn)

Last Friday saw the release of Zunge, the third album in Till Lindemann’s solo career that began in 2015, and the first under his own name (the previous two were released under the Lindemann project).
Frei nach Rammstein: Ich hör dich an und mir wird schlecht. Dies zumindest ist die erste Empfindung beim Einstieg in Till Lindemanns neues Soloalbum ZUNGE. Der vorne platzierte Titel-Track mutet – wenngleich bereits zuvor produziert – wie ein zynischer Kommentar der Vorwürfe aus diesem Jahr an („Doch kommt es vor, dass man sich irrt / Wenn Herz und Geist so sehr verwirrt“; „Ach mein Herz, das ist gebrochen / Doch es schlägt noch, steht nie still“; „So viele haben so viel geweint“; „Meine Zunge ist gefangen / und sie kann sich nicht befrei’n“). Von derartigen Gedanken muss man sich freimachen, um überhaupt in das Album eintauchen zu können.

The Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century continues true to its original guiding spirit, with a new recording of the six Hamburg Symphonies, Wq 182 by Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. This second son of JS Bach, Carl Philipp has sometimes had a rough ride with posterity (and with some of his contemporaries too). Although overshadowed later by Haydn and Mozart – albeit admired by the pair – and overshadowed in his lifetime by Handel, he remains a crucial link between the Baroque and the Classical, particularly for the ultra-sensitive style, his Empfindsamkeit.
