Isfrid Kayser Magnificat · Missa VI

Read and write feedback
Isfrid Kayser (1712–1771) spent almost his entire life in the Premonstratensian Abbey Marchtal, where he soon gained a reputation as an especially versatile musician. Numerous spiritual organizations commissioned church music or sacred music dramas. As a play of words on his surname (Kaiser = emperor), his confreres soon called him the “Caesar of Music.” His Magnificat and the Missa VI are presented here in a recording together with several smaller works; they document Kayser’s extraordinary accomplishments. These majestically sacred works is interpreted by the Orpheus Vokalensemble and Ars Antiqua Austria under the direction of Jürgen Essl.

  • The Orpheus Vokalensemble was founded in 2005 as the professional chamber choir of the Landesmusikakademie Baden-Württemberg. This is an international ensemble which places the highest vocal demands on its members. Internationally recognized choral conductors are engaged for each assignment, and they exercise lasting influence on the artistic quality of the ensemble. Its model is the legendary Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (New York), whose name it shares. Its artistic aims, in the preparation and performance of works, are to bring the fundamentals of chamber music – personal commitment and mutual respect – to bear on the work of a vocal ensemble. Its members have the right to participate in the choice of repertoire, soloists, conductors and concert programs. Several composers have already written works for the Orpheus Vokalensemble, including Bo Hansson, Knut Nystedt, Gregor Hübner and Jürgen Essl. In 2006 the ensemble was invited to the International Lake Constance Festival. Other invitations to important festivals have followed. Personal details
  • After its foundation in 1989, Ars Antiqua Austria at first devoted itself wholly to the scholarly preparation and musical revival of the works of Austrian Baroque composers. The rich fund of rediscovered works gave rise to a number of successful first recordings. Since 2002 Ars Antiqua Austria has staged a concert cycle of its own in the Vienna Konzerthaus. The ensemble has pioneered a concert series which has extended over several years entitled "The Sound of Cultures – The Culture of Sound," comprising a total of 90 concerts in Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Bratislava, Kraków, Venice, Ljubljana, Mechlin and Lübeck. In the course of its concert tours the ensemble has visited the Spring Arts Festival in Nantes, the Monteverdi Festival in Cremona, the Munich State Opera and the Salzburg Festival. It is also a welcome guest in the USA and Japan. The activities of Ars Antiqua Austria are documented on numerous CDs. A recording of Francesco Conti’s "Cantate con istromenti I–IV" with the mezzo-soprano Bernarda Fink was awarded the "Diapason D’or" only a week after its release. Gunar Letzbor, the leader of the ensemble, received with Ars Antiqua Austria the Cannes Classical Award 2002 for their recording of the "Capricci Armonici" by Giovanni Buonaventura Viviani.

  • Jürgen Essl received his musical training in Stuttgart, Bordeaux and Vienna, where his teachers included Ludger Lohmann and Michael Radulescu. After completing his studies he was a church musician in Sigmaringen before being appointed professor of organ at the Lübeck Musikhochschule and in 2003 at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule. He received grants from the German academic exchange program and the arts foundation of Baden-Württemberg. He has achieved international recognition as a performer, improviser and composer, and has made guest appearances as a soloist at the Linz Bruckner Festival, the Gmunden Festival and the Kassel New Music Festival, as also in Leyden, Milan, Cracow and Vienna. His repertoire encompasses the entire spectrum of organ literature. The interpretation of early music and the preparation and first performance of the latest works form the cornerstones of his activities. Jürgen Essl is in demand as a lecturer at international organ seminars. Among his partners in improvisation projects are such musicians as Joachim Kühn and the actor Charles Brauer, and he also performed with the late Hanns Dieter Hüsch. His compositional oeuvre includes organ works that have gained world-wide recognition and pieces for choir, ensembles and orchestra. In 2003 he was awarded the composition prize for church music in Baden-Württemberg, and in 2007 he received the cultural award of the city of Passau. His musical career is documented on numerous CDs, including the first recording of the organ works of Jean Françaix, a widely noted improvisation recorded in Brussels Cathedral, and the "Ochsenhauser Orgelbuch."
