ANTON BRUCKNER
MARBECKS COLLECTABLE: Bruckner: Latin Motets
Latvian Radio Choir, Sigvards Klava
[ Ondine / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 6 November 2020
Ondine is proud to release its 17th album together with the award-winning Latvian Radio Choir and conductor Sigvards Kļava dedicated to a cappella words by Anton Brucker. Anton Bruckner (1824-1896) is known as one of the greatest of 19th century symphonists. Yet, also choral music formed an integral part of the composer's output. This album includes a selection of smaller choral works written between the years 1848 and 1892. Many of these works were long forgotten. Yet after a long stretch on the periphery of the choral world, Bruckner's motets have now finally returned to a broader consciousness.

GRAMOPHONE Award Nomination 2021 - Choral
"I prefer them to Cambridge's King's College Choir, who sound as if they are trying to be angels, while this Latvian choir resounds from the bottom upwards and does sound much more like an anxious congregation praying." BBC Music
"These pieces have been recorded multiple times before, but the unforced natural expressivity of the singing as well as the accuracy of the intonation at all dynamic levels puts this new version very near the top of the list. Among the finest of the performances is that of Tota pulchra es, which communicates a feeling of ineffable timelessness at the opening as well as a sense of tremendous majesty at the organ-supported climax." Gramophone
