(0 Customer review)

Under the direction of Anne Kohler, the Bundesjugendchor (National Youth Choir) explores the forest and nature musically and presents its first CD with this project. The CD features works composed especially for the Bundesjugendchor, such as Jan Kopp's Ode an das Sägemehl (Ode to Sawdust). Compositions for mixed choir a cappella by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Robert Schumann, Max Reger, Maurice Ravel and Raymond Murray Schafer, among others, can also be heard. The choir interprets the compositions at the highest musical level, describing the forest not only as a place of silence and longing, but also as a mysterious place of magic with wolves, singing stones and clear water or as a metaphor for the human conscience and its vulnerability.

… stil- und intonationssicher, engagiert und klangschön.
Neue Musikzeitung nmz, 10/2024

… ein ebenso interessantes wie intelligentes Programm: … Klangfülle, Präzision, Frische und Homogenität sind hier in großartiger Weise vereint!
CHOR aktuell 09/2024

… auf dieser erquicklichen, erschreckenden, erfreuenden CD … Wenn der Bundesjugendchor dieses Niveau halten kann, wird er ein Aushängeschild deutscher Chormusik werden.
Musik & Kirche, 08/2024

An "Waldeslust" begeistert, dass hier das reiche sängerische Talent nicht mittels Virtuosität zur Schau gestellt ... wird, da der Fokus klar auf der Musik liegt.
