The revival of Antonio Vivaldi’s music in the 20th century went hand in hand with the new discovery of a large amount of his sacred vocal music which ranged in repertoire from large-scale compositions for the Mass and Vesper to biblical oratorios and solo motets. The first revivals of Vivaldi's church music, including the Gloria and the Credo on the present recording, were received almost as a sensation. They clearly show that, just in the field of church music he attained some of his greatest artistic achievements.

„Das Orpheus Vokalensemble unter der Leitung von Gary Graden gestaltet jedes Stück mit angemessener Aufmerksamkeit. Intelligent phrasiert, transparent im Klangbild und dynamisch höchst abwechslungsreich, gelingt es den Sängerinnen und Sängern, die subtile Schönheit schumannscher Chormusik dem Hörer überzeugend zu vermitteln.“ Robert Schumann Correspondenz Nr.30

Mon, 22 Dec 2025 10:35:02 +0100

On the occasion of its 40th anniversary Carus has initiated a new series Carus Classics, featuring outstanding CD productions from the past library of recordings. This exclusive collection, designed by Friedrich Forssman and Cornelia Feyll, is presented in high-quality DigiPacs and each CD includes an extensive booklet. With their in every respect refined choral writing – in the late 19th century probably only comparable to Brahms’s choral music – Reger’s folksong collections leave most of the Liedertafel arrangements of his time far behind, demanding a correspondingly ambitious ensemble. The Dresdner Kammerchor directed by Hans-Christoph Rademann achieves a tonally fascinating interpretation of the greatest intensity and clarity.

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)

Großartige Aufnahme!" Singende Kirche 2/1999

"Die Osnabrücker können Choral singen und wissen diesen linearen Geist sofort in die Mehrstimmigkeit hinein zu nehmen. Lassus ist vertreten und Vittoria natürlich, Thomas Tallis u. a. Wer aber wissen will, was harmonisch intonatorischen Geistes Kind die Osnabrücker sind, der höre sich Gesualdos „In monte Oliveti“ und besonders desselben „Tenebrae factae sunt“ an. Dann ist Lottis berühmtes Crucifixus die beste Information." Musica Sacra 3/1988
