Charles Gounod Sacred Choral Music

Lire et écrire des évaluations
Even though Charles Gounod is now mostly remembered as a composer of the opera Faust, his main creative focus was church music. His sacred oeuvre eclipses that of his French contemporaries, but cannot conceal Gounod’s affinity for opera. On the occasion of the composer’s 200th birthday, Carus is re-releasing an outstanding recording by the chamber choir I Vocalisti under the direction of Hans-Joachim Lustig of the oratorio Die letzten Worte des Erlösers am Kreuze and other sacred compositions: works to which the composer was particularly inspired by his stay in Rome and the Gregorian chant which is very frequently heard there.

    My soul doth magnify the Lord,
    and my spirit hath rejoiced
    in God my Saviour,
    for he hath regarded the lowliness
    of his handmaiden.
    For behold from henceforth
    all generations shall call me blessed,
    for he that is mighty hath magnified me,
    and holy is his name,
    and his mercy is on them

  • Charles Gounod est surtout connu de nos jours pour ses opéras Faust (1859) et Roméo et Juliette (1867) et sa très populaire Méditation sur le 1er prélude de piano de J. S. Bach (1852), remaniée en 1859 en Ave Maria. Sa réputation de grand compositeur d'opéras est loin cependant de rendre justice à l'ensemble de son œuvre immense qui aborde tous les genres. Ses œuvres de musique d'église constituent la majeure partie de cet œuvre et surpassent de loin, en nombre, la production de tous les autres compositeurs français du XIXe siècle. C'est avant tout à son séjour à Rome (1840–42) que Gounod doit sa vocation de compositeur de musique spirituelle. Le contact avec la musique de Palestrina l'impressionna profondément et influença durablement les œuvres qu'il composa par la suite pour l'église. Comme pour Palestrina, la musique d'église avait, pour Gounod, pour vocation principale de mettre au premier plan le message de la foi et d'éviter tout effet apparent dans l'expression musicale.

Critiques

Boulanger: Hymne au Soleil. Chorwerke

... in der Interpretation durch einen der besten deutschen Kammerchöre gewinnt sie [Gounods geistliche Musik] zusätzlich an Intensität und auch Intimität. Nicht populär - aber sehr gut!
Chorzeit, 02/2019

... Eine unbestechlich reine Intonation in allen Lagen, ein gut ausbalancierter Ensembleklang, große dynamische Möglichkeiten, eine bewegliche Stimmführung - für einen solchen Chor hätte Gounod sicher gerne mehr komponiert!
Antje Wissemann, Musik & Kirche, 2018

 ... Bei aller Schlichtheit verflachen sie die stets dem Wort dienliche Satzkunst nie ins Simple, und die Stimmen tönen so jung wie ausgereift.
Michael Thumser, Frankenpost, Oktober 2018

... Die ausgezeichnet interpretierten Aufnahmen ... wurden nun anlässlich der 200. Wiederkehr des Geburtstags von Gounod neu aufgelegt - sie sei allen Chorleitern warm empfohlen!
Gustav Danzinger, CHOR aktuell, 3/2018

... Eine lohnende Wiedervorlage mit geistlicher Musik von Gounod, gesungen vom Kammerchor I Vocalisti – lohnend vor allem wegen 'Le sept paroles du Christ sur la croix' und manch köstlicher Kleinigkeit.
Dr. Matthias Lange, klassik.com, 06.07.2018

... In allen Registern ausgewogen besetzt überzeugen die Stimmen durch schöne Transparenz und grandiose Szenen...
...schlichtweg Musik für die Seele.
Jan-Geert Wolff, Pizzicato, 30.05.2018
