Mozarts Litanies and Vesper settings are works which are convincing due to the musical liberties which they display, through the joy of experimentation and through their variety of form. "… the performers’ joy of making music and the differentiated shaping by Tõnu Kaljuste shows the quality of the compositions." (Musica sacra, 2000)

Compositeur
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
| 1756-1791Fils du vice-maître de chapelle du prince-archevêque de Salzbourg, Mozart a été constamment entouré de musique sacrée dès sa jeunesse. Au cours de ses voyages, Mozart découvrit la musique sacrée italienne, et plus tard, à Vienne, il étudia les œuvres de Bach et de Haendel. Après son installation à Vienne, il se lance de nouveaux défis avec l'opéra et le concerto pour piano. Il est significatif que la « Messe en ut mineur » KV 427, la plus grande œuvre de musique sacrée des premières années viennoises, reste inachevée. La dernière période de sa vie montre à nouveau une orientation vers la musique sacrée : Mozart postule avec succès pour succéder à Leopold Hoffmann, malade à l'article de la mort, en tant que maître de chapelle à la cathédrale Saint-Étienne, mais il ne peut pas prendre le poste, car il meurt avant Hoffmann. Un joyau comme l'« Ave verum » KV 618 et le Requiem KV 626, resté inachevé, laissent entrevoir ce que Mozart aurait encore pu accomplir en tant que compositeur d'église s'il était parvenu à ce poste à responsabilité.

Tonu Kaljuste
For twenty years Tõnu Kaljuste (conductor) was artistic director and principal conductor of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, which he founded in 1981, and the Tallinn Chamber Orchestra. Kaljuste has also been chief conductor of the Swedish Radio Choir and the Netherlands Chamber Choir. He has directed international choral seminars and workshops for several years and has worked as a guest conductor with leading orchestras and choirs throughout Europe, Australia and America. As well as immersing himself in the music of the great northern and eastern European moderns, such as Schnittke, Kurtag, Penderecki, Rautavaara and Kancheli, he has a deep affinity with the composers of his native Estonia, including Pärt, Tüür, Tormis and Eller. He has established an international reputation with his wide-ranging repertoire from opera, via the traditional symphonic repertoire to contemporary music. His numerous recordings have won many awards and have been nominated for Grammy awards. In 1999 he received the Cannes Classical Award in the category “Best 20th Century Choral Music” for his recording of Alfred Schnittke’s Psalms of Repentance. In 2004 he was awarded first prize by the Estonian State Foundation “Kultuurkapital.” The same year he became artistic director of the Nargen Festival, an annual, three-month long musical event on the coast of Estonia.
